Family stories are more than censuses and vital records. To develop a complete family narrative you may need more information. In her first two lectures Cari will help you create a locality guide for your family's geographic area and find new and unusual sources. She will also provide tips to locate obscure or hidden records that can solve tough problems using digital books including Google Books, Internet Archive, Hathi Trust, and others. Her final lecture will examine a writing approach, Family History Piecework, using small assorted pieces in order to achieve a larger cohesive body of work.
