Writing Your Family History SIG
Facilitator - Carla Maitland
Join us for four workshops this year in our GoToMeeting platform as we meet together, face-to-face, and discuss, share, and critique each other’s family history writing. Whether you choose journals, blogs, newsletters, books, or some other form of writing, we can all use the input of others. These sessions will be led by a facilitator, who will not directly teach, but who will guide the discussions, ensuring the involvement of everyone. Bring your pen, pencil, computer or whatever you use to write, and join the sessions with ideas to share with others as well!
These sessions are currently scheduled for one Wednesday morning every three months at 10:00 a.m. (CST) and will last approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours each session.

The post-Revolutionary War period was a time of industrialization and enormous change. The immigrants to Rhode Island in the later 1800’s left completely different clues.
Let’s review the best tips for breaking through to your ancestor’s Rhode Island story.

Black Holes of Genealogy
by James L. Douthat
Come listen to James L. Douthat, Tennessee historian and genealogist, present a program on exploring those "Black Holes." As genealogists, we all have an ancestor who disappears, but we know where they are living at that time period. This is a real study of geography in the Southern States. Once the colonists started moving westward, boundaries were moved constantly. This program will explore some of the greater changes in state's boundaries.

Researching Enslaved Ancestors
Presented by Meaghan E. H. Siekman
Breaking through the 1870 brick wall to discover more about ancestors prior to the end of slavery can prove challenging. Changing surnames, families ripped apart, and identifying the former enslaver are just a few roadblocks when researching enslaved families. This session will dive deep into creating a research strategy and organizing the records uncovered. Genealogist Meaghan E.H. Siekman will also provide tips for making sense of all the information unearthed in the search and constructing a proof argument when records are limited. Best suited for those with intermediate-advanced genealogical skills.

From across our nation, from neighbors Canada and Mexico and from the Old World, Jamboree speakers helped us discover our ancestors' lives and stories. Besides learning a lot from the many, many presentations, programs and exhibits, we all had fun.
