What will happen to your research finds in the future? Summit Valley Historical Society Managing Director Leah Wiseman will showcase a method of creating digital albums that can be prepared without scrapbooking software, and allow you to showcase your photographs and family stories while also preserving the “boring” documents that non-researching family members may not be interested in.
Untangling the Family Yarn. Everyone has family stories. Some may be full of genealogical tidbits, while others may be fiction. Learn how to take that family yarn and weave it into your family history with help from Genealogist Anne Duggar. She’ll take family stories and use genealogical tools, including timelines and vital records, to either prove or disprove them, including a case study of a particular family story that includes riches, child kidnapping and death .
