PGS Events for the Week of 28 March to 2 April 2022

 Monday, 28-Mar-22 at 1:00 PM. Scottish Ancestry and Immigration--Does your DNA reveal Scottish or Irish ancestry, but you don’t have any in your tree? That happened to me!  Join me as I take you through my Gaelic journey searching for royalty for my mother! This intriguing journey took me through the history of Scotland, a land of two peoples, and how it’s intertwined with that of Ireland. Then follow the Scottish diaspora around the world as they fled the king’s wrath.  I’ll share tips to help you with your search along the way! Coffey

Tuesday, 29-Mar-22 at 1:00 PM. Census Before 1850--Analysis.  Many researchers become frustrated with the difficulty in researching the US Census prior to 1850 because of only the heads of households being explicitly named. However, those early censuses contain more information than one might initially think. This class examines the characteristics of the pre-1850 census, the information available, and some strategies for analyzing those census years. Summers
