How to Beat Brick Walls With "Cluster Genealogy"
Posted by Diane
Say you needed someone, such as a friend or coworker, and you
couldn't find the person. What would you do? Probably start calling
his or her family, friends, neighbors, anyone you could think of.
Now what if you can't find great-grandma or great-great-grandpa?
Follow the same kind of approach: Check with your ancestor's FAN
club—that is, the friends, associates and neighbors with whom he or
she interacted.
This classic brick wall-busting strategy—also called "cluster" or
"collateral" research—is easier said than done. How do you find
out who your ancestor's FANs were, and how do you "talk" to them to find out what they can tell you about your family?
Our July 12 webinar, Using
Cluster and Collateral Searches to Beat Brick Walls, will
answer these questions for you, showing you:
-
how cluster genealogy can solve your research brick walls
- how to identify the people in your ancestor’s
network
- how to research your ancestor's FANs, even if
they're not related to you
-
how to piece together cluster and collateral evidence
- the best websites and offline resources for doing cluster and
collateral genealogy research
Here are the webinar details:
-
Thursday, July 12, 2012, 7 p.m. Eastern Time (6 p.m. Central,
5 p.m. Mountain, 4 p.m. Pacific)
- presented by Thomas
MacEntee
- 60 minutes
- Participants receive copies of the presentation slides, access
to the recorded webinar to view again, and
a bonus download of Family
Tree Magazine's Cluster Genealogy Guide.
