The Pinellas Genealogy Society is pleased to announce
another in its Lecture Series, this time featuring George G. Morgan giving two
presentations. The first is “Laying Out Clues in Funeral Home Records”: synopsis--Funeral home and mortuary records
can provide clues to many other sources, especially before death certificates
were issued and between censuses. Learn what information may be included, what
it infers, and places to locate the records. Examples of records from online
sources are presented and discussed.

The second is “Timelining Your Ancestors”: synopsis--Your ancestors lived complex lives,
interacting with family members, friends, neighbors, and associates of all
types. They participated in their communities, and they were affected by events
in their communities and around the world. You want to place your ancestors
into geographical, historical, and social context so that you can better
understand their lives. This seminar suggests a wide array of resources for
locating details about your ancestors, and presents a methodology for
constructing a chronological timeline of their lives.
This event is free and open to the public and runs from 11am
to 3pm at the Largo Public Library (120 Central Park Drive, Largo, FL) on
Saturday, 18 November 2017. There will be a short break for lunch after the
first presentation. Plan to bring a brown bag lunch, or make use of the
Bookmark Café in the library.
