Join us for DNA: where genealogy and genetics come together. This free event is March 19\, 2016 from 8:30am to 5pm at West Waco Library & Genealogy Center. \nThe library event\, hosted in cooperation with the Central Texas Genealogical Society\, features genealogists to guide you through the process of getting\, interpreting and using your DNA results to achieve your research goals. The multi-session workshop will address topics including what tests to do\, what those tests tell you\, some of the tools to get your tests and results and how to apply the results to go farther in your genealogy research. \nDNA research is popular\, so many people find themselves wondering how to get that information and what to do with it. The experts in this workshop can guide both beginning and experienced genealogists through the process. “The branches and leaves on your tree are determined by the roots: Y\, X (mtDNA) and Autosomal Chromosomes.  DNA testing can determine who you are and who you are not\, thus saving many years of barking up the wrong tree and digging the wrong roots.” says Sue Coffelt\, chair of the Central Texas Genealogical Society DNA Interest Group. \nSpace for the event is limited\, so pre-registration for the event is required. Register using the online calendar at wacolibrary.org or by calling any of the library branches. The West Waco Library & Genealogy Center is located at 5301 Bosque Blvd. in Waco. \nThe Waco-McLennan County Library serves Waco and its surrounding areas and is committed to furthering the community’s access to information and pursuit of knowledge.

SUMMARY:Dallas Genealogical Society 2014 Fall Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Dallas Genealogical Society invites you to join us for a one‐day workshop featuring Judy Russell\, a Certified Genealogist and Certified Genealogical Lecturer with a law degree. She is a lecturer\, educator and writer who enjoys helping others understand a wide variety of genealogical issues\, including the interplay between genealogy and the law. \nJudy will be presenting four sessions:  \n\nFrom Blackstone to the Statutes at Large – How Knowing the Law Makes Us Better Genealogists\nDon’t Forget the Ladies” – A Genealogist’s Guide to Women and the Law\nThrough the Golden Door: Immigration After the Civil War\nThe Ethical Genealogist\n\nJudy will be speaking on the following topics. \n\nFrom Blackstone to the Statutes at Large – How Knowing the Law Makes Us Better Genealogists. To understand our ancestors’ lives – why they did what they did\, we need to understand the law that governed their lives in so many ways. Learn how knowing the law our ancestors lived by helps us make sense of the records they left and find clues to more and different records\nDon’t Forget the Ladies – A Genealogist’s Guide to Women and the Law. In early America\, women were all too often the people who just weren’t there: not in the records\, not in the censuses\, not on juries\, not in the voting booth. The common law relegated women to “protected” – second-class –status and understanding how they were treated under the law provides clues to finding their identities today\nThrough the Golden Door: Immigration After the Civil War. America’s doors were open to all before the Civil War\, with few restrictions. Afterwards\, the laws began tightening\, with exclusions\, quotas\, even required visas. How did the immigration laws affect your ancestors who immigrated after the Civil War? What hoops did they have to jump through to enter America’s “golden door”?\nThe Ethical Genealogist. Genealogists deal with sensitive issues all the time: how to handle family secrets\, what to say about living people\, crediting the work of others. Learn more about the ethical challenges of trying to solve family history mysteries in the 21st century\n\nSchedule and Location \nThis event will be held at the Dallas Public Library: J. Erik Jonsson Central Library 1515 Young Street Dallas\, TX (Directions\, Web page) \n\nRegistration: 9:30 a.m.\nWorkshop: 10:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.\nLunch: NOT PROVIDED due to renovations being performed at the library. The lunch break will be 90 minutes and you will be provided with a list of local restaurants. Limited space will be available at the library on a first come – first seated basis for those who may want to bring a lunch.\nParking: $1.50 (Discounted fee)\n\n\nCost \n\nOn or before September 6:\n\n$40 (Member)\n$50 (Non-Member)\n\n\nAfter September 6:\n\n$50 (Member)\n$60 (Non-Member)\n\n\n\nFor more information about online registration\, please visit Dallas Genealogical Society’s website.
