Rooksby Weidlich’s journey to discover the life of her
great-grandmother, Emma. Emma's story takes place in three countries,

Annette Burke Lyttle
- Following Ancestral
Migrations: Three Case Studies - Following
migrating American families in three case studies covering a Colonial
migration, a move from Massachusetts to Illinois by way of Vermont and
New York after the American Revolution, and a move from Illinois to
Nebraska to homestead. We’ll look at what kinds of records we can use to
follow ancestral migrations and fill in their stories.
- Beyond the Records –
Putting Flesh on the Bones of Your Civil War Ancestor
Over three million Americans were in uniform during the
Civil War. It’s becoming easier to find the facts of our ancestors’
service, but how do we reconstruct their experiences? This presentation
will show you how to fill in the blanks between the facts, allowing you
to tell your ancestors’ stories.
April 18 – Debbie Smyth –
- DNA Doesn’t Lie, but
Needs Help to Find the Truth! DNA
testing is a valuable tool for use in genealogical research. DNA
provides confirmation of a genetic relationship; however, it requires
the help of documentary research to confirm the genealogical
relationship. This presentation reviews the differences between a
genetic relationship and a genealogical relationship and how pairing the
two will strengthen your genealogical conclusions.
May 16 – April Min

Tampa’s Forgotten African American Pioneer"

in the early 20th century and helped start the Spring Hill community in
North Tampa. April will specifically talk about finding records in
Hillsborough County and how she found records for his parents, both
enslaved in Georgia.
