Arlene Eakle is the speaker–here are my topics:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Genealogy Evidence<\/strong>: How do I know my records are accurate? How can I determine who is the right ancestor, given more than one choice? Collecting, compiling, matching evidence correctly so that your records are both documented and proven. Also discussed: resolving discrepancies, \u201cslips of the tongue\u201d evidence, family traditions, and how to by-pass record-source failure. We will also examine why it is important to chart your records as you research. Don\u2019t let anyone sub-prime<\/strong> your genealogy!<\/li>\n
  2. Is Your Genealogy Already Compiled?<\/strong> If you do a careful \u201csurvey\u201d of what is already known about your ancestors and often in print, you can save up to 150 hours of preliminary research. Locating and using family histories, genealogies, compiled biographies, autobiographies and autobiographical details in original sources, \u201cfirst settler collections,\u201d and other narrative sources will pay rich dividends for the time spent. Also covered gallows confessions, courtroom biographies, slave narratives, and captive accounts. Break your losing streak–Check the genealogies!<\/li>\n
  3. American Church Records<\/strong>: How to Locate, Search, and Use the many kinds of church records available in print, on microfilm, on CD-Rom, and on the internet. Religious belief dictates the records kept and preserved by congregations. This session will show how to search these records for hard-to-find ancestors\u2013a NEW research strategy and how to use \u201cinternal evidence links\u201d to trace and prove family relationships.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I am excited about this seminar–50 years of making genealogy available in a library where the Society and the DAR work together to give their members the very best resources. And they will open that library to attendees of the seminar as well as Kathryn and I. Can’t wait. I’m bringing some of my hardest research.<\/p>\n

    And I suggest that those of you who are coming to Dodge City, bring some of your hardest research problems too–ask me about them and let me help you jump start your work again. Your favorite genealogist, Arlene Eakle http:\/\/arleneeakle.com<\/p>\n

    PS You can get all of the new publications I have completed and those I have updated– and without the postage charge too.\u00a0 I’m bringing a carload.<\/p>\n

    PPS\u00a0 Remember that a good, step-by-step research strategy and a checklist of the right sources to search (in the order most efficient to check them) is a lot less money and may be most cost effective for you than hiring a professional genealogist like me.\u00a0 My working motto is:\u00a0 I trace your family tree or show you how to do it yourself!<\/p>\n

    See you in Dodge City this weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
