SUMMARY:Houston Genealogical Forum 2017 Seminar Featuring Pam & Rick Sayre
DESCRIPTION:Houston Genealogical Forum presents Pamela Boyer Sayre\, CG\, FUGA and Rick Sayre\, CG\, CGL\, FUGA at their March 2017 Seminar. \nAbout the Program\nSaturday\, March 18 \n\nChats and Snacks: 9:00 am\nProgram: 10:00 am – 3:00 pm\n\nCapital Treasure (2-hour session with Pam & Rick Sayre) \nThis presentation features four brief case studies that demonstrate the wealth of records that can be found in the Washington\, DC area or on websites of repositories such as the National Archives\, Library of Congress\, Bureau of Land Management General Land Office\, National Park Service\, and Civil War Trust. Cases show how to find records of birth\, marriage\, and death for a burned county in which all such records were destroyed; how to learn how a Civil War veteran was shot to death in his old age; how to locate detailed facts about a person’s life from a simple land record; and why numbers of Union Civil War soldiers are buried at a site far from where they fell. \nOhio and Western Pennsylvania Research (Rick Sayre) \nFor many immigrants Pennsylvania was their landing pad; many moved west and many moved into Ohio. Two states\, side by side\, but so different in records and research approaches. Learn how to navigate research in this area making the most of online resources. Special attention will be paid to western Pennsylvania resources and to Ohio’s convoluted land history. \nAbout the Speakers\nPamela Boyer Sayre\, CG\, FUGA\, is a professional researcher\, educator\, author\, and lecturer.
