The Kelowna and District Genealogical Society in British Columbia will host two virtual presentations during its meeting on Monday, February 2, at 7:00 p.m. Pacific time. This meeting is free to members and $10 for non-members.
Broad Context: How to Find it and Use it! by Jill Morelli
By understanding the broad context of our geographic area and the era we can interpret the evidence more accurately and thereby understand the decision-making of our ancestors more clearly. We sometimes view context as just the historical events that affected our ancestor. We will broaden that definition and explain the difference between it and social history. Examples clarify meaning and illustrate how this is a project long process and not effort applied at the end.
Jill Morelli is a writer, lecturer and past president of the Seattle Genealogical Society, program chair of the Puget Sound-Association of Professional Genealogists and a member of many local genealogical societies. She is a founder of the Certification Discussion Group, an online series which demystifies the journey to BCG certification. Jill lectures nationally and has written articles for National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Swedish American Genealogist, and many others. She publishes regularly and is working on her third book-a compilation of all the articles she has written about her mother’s family.
