Class Description
Now that you’ve looked at basic records such as the census and vital records, are you wondering what to do next? Intermediate Genealogy Part One will help you advance beyond these basic records. This Part One class will teach you how to access and use the following records in depth: census records, church and government vital records, cemetery records, military records, and newspaper/obits in depth. Learn new terms such as enumerator, census schedules, baptisms vs birth, DD214, MOS, service #, sources, obits, and other esoteric terms that tend to confuse novice record users and where to find these records.
This FREE, three-hour class will provide clues you’ve been looking for to take your family history to the next level. Plus we will review the databases available at Loveland Library and your home. Handouts will be available.
Be sure to register for Intermediate Genealogy Part Two on May 17 at the Loveland Library! That class will include Directories, Land Records, Passenger & Naturalization Records, Court Records, Sources, and Lineage & Ethnic Societies in our area.
Handouts are available, but the 28-page slide presentation will be emailed to registered attendees one day before the class.
SPEAKER PROFILE
Kathy Williamson
Kathy Williamson is an instructor, past president, currently our vice president, and library volunteer for our society. She has been researching her genealogy for over 45 years. She served as president from 1978-1980 and was the newsletter editor. Kathy worked on transcribing Larimer County marriage records and land records and created our first society publication for sale on county land records in 1979. That same year, she helped organize and join the Colorado Council of Genealogical Societies.
Kathy’s interest in family history dates back to her childhood when she heard stories of a great grandfather being in the Texas Rangers, another one being a childhood friend of Davy Crockett, another being shot in the back by bushwhackers during the Civil War, etc. Through the years, she was able to verify (with a few revisions) these stories and others. Her progress slowed significantly until she joined Ancestry.com in 2006 and had her DNA submitted for testing. Since then, Kathy has met many cousins online and has extended her family tree to 30,000 ancestors and collateral lines. She still gets that rush of excitement when she finds another clue.
Everyone interested in genealogy or family history is welcome to attend our free online classes!
