Bill Cole
Saturday, April 19
Bill Cole  (General Meeting and Speaker)
1:00 pm to 2:30 pm
Sorensen Library, 6934 Broadway Ave, Whittier CA 90606 + Zoom

Move Beyond US Censuses Records to Overcome Obstacles and Brick Walls

Using case studies, Bill takes participants through alternative record sources and creative approaches to overcome obstacles and brick walls created by pesky ancestors who frustrate researchers! The presentation is NOT theoretical. It does NOT include the traditional usual alternatives of BMDs, state censuses, city directories, or land records. IT IS practical and “hands on.” Participants will learn 16 useful tips and techniques plus 7 lessons learned over forty-plus years of applied genealogical research. They will vicariously experience thrills associated with overcoming obstacles and busting through brick walls!
 
The virtual doors will open between noon and 12:30 p.m. and those of you who join online can chat with one another on Zoom before the meeting begins at 1:00 p.m.
