Ellen Thompson-Jennings
Family stories, adoptions, and unexpected discoveries can leave even experienced researchers facing unanswered questions. In this case study, we follow the journey of unraveling a long-standing family mystery involving the my great grandfather Willie Beaton - where traditional records alone could not provide clear answers. This session demonstrates how documentary research and DNA evidence work together to resolve complex identity questions.
Share Your Family History Through Videos
Lianne Kruger
We all have stories that need to be recorded. Everyday stories and memories that make you smile, cry, laugh, and remember family. Even the little ones need to be recorded, but how do you record these in a fun way that the family will enjoy? Make a short video. Show images in PowerPoint and record someone talking about them. Save as an mp4 then upload to your own YouTube channel for free. Share your channel with just your family or whoever you want. This session will show a variety of examples and point out important steps. Instructions are included in the handout.
