SUMMARY:Hopkins County Genealogical Society Annual Seminar Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ari Wilkins \nMs. Wilkins speaks nationally and locally. She has had the honor to speak at the National Genealogical Society\, Federation of Genealogical Societies\, Texas State Genealogical Society\, Ohio Genealogical Society\, Institute of Genealogical and Historical Research\, Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy\, American Library Association\, RootsTech\, and a multitude of local societies. A graduate of Louisiana State University\, Ms. Wilkins has been actively researching family history since 1998\, specializing in African American research. \n  \nSession information: \nBlack and White Families in Southern Plantation Records\nSouthern antebellum plantation records can offer valuable insights into both white and African American families. This session explores how these records are organized\, how to search them\, and how to use correspondence\, business papers\, and other documents to uncover family connections and historical context. Case studies will show how the records document a white Southern family directly and an African American family indirectly. \nMysterious Relatives\nWho is that unknown person in the household\, or the “cousin” signing a family letter? This session looks at how cluster research can help identify mysterious people and clarify their relationship to your family. \nReconstructing Communities Using Sanborn Maps\, Census Records\, and City Directories\nReconstructing neighborhoods can reveal rich details about an ancestor’s daily life and surroundings. This session demonstrates how to use Sanborn maps\, census records\, and city directories to rebuild communities in Google Maps. \nSources for Researching Rural Ancestors\nDid your ancestor come from a small town or unincorporated community? This session covers records and tools for researching rural families\, including census and land records\, maps\, rural directories\, newspapers\, and modern mapping methods.
