#genchat "Researching Women"
March 8, 2013... the topic was popular, that's for sure! We were so excited to have Gena Philibert Ortega and Lisa Alzo provide some truly fantastic resources, and then Megan Smolenyak popped in at the end! Favorite quote? Jennifer Wilso (@WrterJenWilson)... she get's the #1 position this week!
We found out the @indepthgen is an official blogger for NGS this year. Will you be there? #genchat- Your #genchat host for the evening was Terri O'Connell of Finding Our Ancestors.In supporting roles were Stephanie Pitcher Fishman of Corn and Cotton Genealogy and Jen Baldwin of Ancestral Journeys.
- Question 1: What are your favorite resources for researching women?
@CornAndCotton Neighboring families often married each other, so I use the census to find the neighbors and the maiden name. #genchat- @Tracingmyfamily So far, the census on ancestry, I'm afraid. Nothing more fancy. Try to find their relatives in "kith" groups. #genchat
- @ancestryjourney However, with death certificates . . . they are not so available for women in the 1800s. #genchat
@CarolinaGirlGen Pension records are great. I love Civil War Pension Files #genchat- @MariannSRegan Census records, I love browsing through the neighborhoods! #genchat
