Topic: Researching Your Mom: Don't overlook researching your immediate family!
Speaker: Diane L Richard
Think you know your mom? Our research skills aren't just for researching the long-ago deceased; they can be used for 20th-century research into a loved one. By the time one is an adult, we often assume that we know all there is to know about, say a mother, father, or grandparents. How wrong we might be. As genealogists, we sometimes get so focused on researching the long-ago deceased that we kind of skip over the individuals we lived with or frequently visited. Don't wait! This talk shares Diane’s research into her mother after she died relatively young and before grandchildren, and bereft of memorabilia. It yielded some fun surprises about her youth; this research is a work in progress.
