Presented by Pima County Genealogical Society

Anatomy of Birth Records

Genealogists know everything they need to know about birth records, right? What more is there to know? Successful research means knowing the background of a record and not just where to find it. Knowing more about the history of vital records can mean the difference between knowing why and why not you can find the record you need. This presentation looks at the history of birth records in the United States, variations of those records, and alternatives.

The Material Culture of Death

Most genealogy research stops at searching for an ancestor’s burial place, obituary, or death certificate. There is more to understanding our ancestor’s death than acquiring that information. We will take an up-close look at death in the 19th century, exploring the material culture of death and what it tells us about our ancestors’ lives.

Meeting will be a hybrid meeting, both physical and virtual via Zoom. To make sure you are eligible for door prizes, register for the March Monthly Meeting by Friday, 14 April.
