Recurring themes on this blog - family history research

As you may recall, I recently attended three EXCELLENT lectures on family history research provided by Camden County Historical Society and given by Bonnie Beth Elwell, a wonderful researcher and guide.

The lecture consisted of the resources available at CCHS, and how to use your DNA results, as well as many other useful topics.  Bonnie used examples from her own vast research experience to illustrate her points.

Bonnie is President of the  Genealogy Society of Salem County and they hold regular meetings filled with useful information to aid your research.  Here is a notice on an upcoming meeting:

Greetings--
The Genealogical Society of Salem County invites you to a program entitled “Become a Probate Detective: Rejoicing in the Probate Files of Our Ancestors” presented by Dawn Carson on Tuesday, September 10, 2019 at 7:00 pm in the Friends Village Auditorium in Woodstown, NJ.
The probate files our ancestors have left behind not only served their immediate families and relations, but also us, the contemporary family historians. In this lecture, you’ll learn how to locate the probate files of your ancestors, examine the bounty of information they may contain, and what other documents they may lead us to in order to further our research.
Dawn Carson is a professional genealogist and has been involved in genealogical research since 2000. Her research is focused in the Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey areas. She is a member of the National Genealogical Society and the Association of Professional Genealogists. She holds a certificate in genealogical research from Boston University and is a member of ProGen 24.
This program is free and open to the public. For more info, call 609-670-0407. Hope to see you there!
