Too Many Mary's: Solving Identity and Same Name Conundrums - Jill Morelli, CG
Whether you are looking for a John Smith, a Mary Margaret Murphy or a Lars Larson, we all have genealogical “identity issues.” In this presentation, we will discuss the types of identity problems that are prevalent and show a methodology for a possible solution. Yes, it takes some work. Examples of common types of identity problems will illustrate the methodology and the tools that may lead to identification. We will use the "lens" of the Genealogical Proof Standard to guide our work and raise our confidence that we have the right person and we did not just “pick one that looked right.” Let’s tackle some of those identity issues!

Squeezing Every Drop Out of Polish Parish Registers
- David Ouimette, CG,CGL, BCG Trustee
Polish parish registers tell stories about individuals, families, and communities, revealing living conditions, lifestyles, relationships, traditions, religious practices, epidemics, successes, trials, and social history. Genealogists and historians should take time to study parish registers deeply to discover all these amazing records have to offer. Analytical tools and methodologies can help bring these records to life.
This presentation along with accompanying handout show how to mine Polish parish registers to uncover their enormous genealogical value. Examples are drawn from the records of Wόjtowa, a small farming village in Małopolska. We use original records, genealogical standards, proven research methodologies, and spreadsheet software to squeeze every drop out of Polish parish registers.

The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are - Libby Copeland
Libby Copeland, author of The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are (Abrams, 2020), will speak about the many ways in which home DNA testing is redefining family history. Drawing on years of research for her book, which The Wall Street Journal calls “a fascinating account of lives dramatically altered by genetic sleuthing,” she will address how DNA testing informs who we are, and how the effects of this technology may ultimately move us toward a more inclusive definition of family and inspire us to become more openhearted about the different ways kinship is formed. With more than 35 million people having been tested, home DNA testing is proving pivotal in redefining how family history is understood.

Webinars and handouts are completely free and open to the public. Please make sure your headphones or speakers are connected BEFORE you enter the webinar room. We recommend that you enter the webinar about 15-20 minutes before the start time. This will help ensure that your sound is working before the webinar begins. If you would like to download the Handout click on the word “Click Here” next to the title of the class.
