Research Tar Heel Ancestors Online – Step Aside Rip Van Winkle, NC Leads in Web-Based Genealogical Content

No longer the Rip Van Winkle state, the Tar Heel state is at the forefront of internet-available genealogy resources. Whether planning an in-person visit or determining record availability and access, online homework is key. We explore the myriad web-based resources created by North Carolina institutions (state-level, county-level, regional, university, as well as other repository types) and available to genealogists. The talk will share a vast array of online resources available at their fingertips to help researchers pursue North Carolinian ancestors; in their jammies and at home!

Researching Enslaved Ancestors

Breaking through the 1870 brick wall to discover more about ancestors prior to the end of slavery can prove challenging. Changing surnames, families ripped apart, and identifying the former enslaver are just a few roadblocks when researching enslaved families. This session will dive deep into creating a research strategy and organizing the records uncovered. Genealogist Meaghan E. H. Siekman will also provide tips for making sense of all the information unearthed in the search and constructing a proof argument when records are limited. Best suited for those with intermediate-advanced genealogical skills.
