The
Early Religious Experience in America: the Theology Behind the Records
by Dr. Michael D. Lacopo, DVM
Genealogists utilize church records all the time to document the births and baptisms,
but what did that mean for our ancestors? By understanding the history of religion
in early America we can better understand why we can and cannot find the records
we seek.
Dr. Michael D. Lacopo is a retired small-animal veterinarian born and raised
in northern Indiana. A self-described “all-American mutt,” his research
skills cover a broad range. |

OUTREACH PROGRAM
Saturday, August 12 from 12 noon to 3:30 pm
Guest speaker - Crista Cowan from Ancestry.com
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. "Getting the Most of Ancestry, Part 1"
Are you getting the most out of your Ancestry.com subscription? Even if you
don't have a subscription, are you aware there are many things you can access
for free? This overview of the five major areas of Ancestry.com and show you
our favorite tools for advancing your family history research.
2:15 - 3:15 p.m. "Getting the Most of Ancestry, Part 2"
In the workshop, the attendees will work through various exercises that will
help you apply what was discussed in Part 1. Often we hear something, but when
we go to apply it later, it's hard to remember. This workshop will be a hands-on
experience that will enable you to practice what they've heard earlier to reinforce
it.
