Enjoy this preview to “Born NC” and Living Elsewhere: Making the Connection Back with Diane L. Richard, ME, MBA.
What if you only know born NC from a census, military record, or a child’s death record? Is it possible to figure out where in NC? With the 1850 census as the first census that provided the names of all individuals in a household as well as age and birthplace, this is often the first clue to where one’s ancestors were born!
The full webinar, along with handout, is always available in the Member Webinars section of the website.
