Join us for a SCGS Webinar with Allyson Maughan presents "Too Many Birthdays for Sarah - Finding Birth Records".
Are you looking for an ancestor’s birth details before birth records? This presentation teaches about alternative birth records such as church, immigration records, and newspapers. Through the case of Sarah Ellen who had a dozen different birth dates, learn to analyze each record, placing priority on reliable records to name the correct birth year. You will leave with knowledge and tools necessary to discover birth years for your ancestors. Key Learning Objectives: 1) Learn the history and limitations of birth records, 2) Identify and locate alternative records for birth information, 3) Learn to access online and in person records, 4) Apply methodology to evaluate and analyze conflicting evidence through detailed case study of Sarah Loveless.
