Title: Funeral Homes and Family History: They're Dying to Meet You
Date: Tuesday, October 10, 2017, 8:00 pm Central
Description: Most genealogists know to look in a cemetery to find their ancestors, but what about the funeral home? Funeral home records can provide loads of genealogically rich information. This presentation will teach participants what types of records are typically found in funeral homes, how to locate these resources online and "in the field", as well as provide real life examples of how to search for ancillary clues in funeral home records.
Presenter: Daniel Earl
Daniel Earl got his start in family history at age 10 when his father took him to the grave of his great-grandfather; that sparked a lifetime of interest in family history. Dan has spent the last 25 years researching his own family history and helping others make history a part of their story. Dan has experience doing research in the following regions: United States Midwest, Mid-Atlantic United States, New England, Eastern Canada, Eastern Europe, Great Britain and Ireland.Register: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8619206168660919556
Registration Procedure: There are only 500 available "seats" for each webinar and we have limited the number of registrations for each webinar to 650. Past experience has shown that approximately 30% of those who register don't attend a webinar. Recommendation: login to the webinar EARLY - access begins at 7:30 pm Central. Once the "room" fills up with 500 attendees, others attempting to join will receive a "room full" message.
