Organizing Your Online Research
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Virtual via Zoom
 
This presentation will be joint with the AAGS.
 
When a five minute search does not locate an individual in a database, it is time to organize your online research process so that process can be evaluated and modified if information is not located. Through several examples we will see ways to structure effective searches, search processes, and search analysis.
 
Speaker:  Michael John Neill
He has researched his own genealogy since the early 1980s and his children’ s ancestry since shortly before their birth. These families cover most US states east of the Mississippi as well as Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri–including Mayflower immigrants and mid-17th century Virginians. In addition to the early immigrants, over half of their ancestors immigrated to the United States in the mid-19th century.
 
He has written on genealogical research topics since the late 1980s and has lectured nationally at a wide variety of local, regional, and national conferences and workshops. Presentations are down-to-earth, informational, full of real examples. and practical. He  also leads annual research trips to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. In addition, he maintains two blogs:  Rootdig.com and Genealogy Tip of the Day.
