PGSS Event for the Week of 19-24 December 2022

 Wednesday, 21-Dec-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, Hybrid-LH Room.

PGS Events for the Week of 12-17 December 2022

 Monday, 12-Dec-22 at 1:00 PM: Genealogical Proof--This class explains how to evaluate the evidence we collect as we build our family trees. Some sources are more reliable, some records bring us closer to the actual event, and some information is more “on point.” How do we rank all of this as we try to assemble genealogical “truth”? The class uses the “Genealogical Proof Standard” as the guide. Summers, Hybrid-LH Room.

Suncoast Genealogy Society's DNA Interest Group Features Diahan Southard at 12 December Meeting

 

PGS Events for the Week of 5-10 December 2022

 Monday, 5-Dec-22 at 1:00 PM. Census Tracking--Probably the fundamental way of using the US Federal Census is to track ancestors from one census year to the next. In that process we seek to uncover relationships and lost or heretofore unknown ancestors. This class shows a strategy on how to do that, using an actual family as an example. In addition, it also shows how to uncover hints on using resources outside of the census itself. Summers, Hybrid-LH Room.

Thursday, 8-Dec-22 at 1:00 PM. Dead Men do Tell Tales--Reconstructing life in a community using death certificates. Death certificates can tell us a lot about how our ancestors lived and died. When looked at as a group they can also tell us about life and death in their communities. This presentation focuses on an analysis of death certificates from Attleboro, Massachusetts over a five-year period, and shows how they can provide us with a window into the lives of the people who lived there. Fortin, Hybrid-LH Room.
