Places Matter • After names and dates, places are the third essential element in genealogical research.

• Places anchor an ancestor to a specific historical, social,     and geographical context.

• Knowing where an ancestor lived helps identify:

  - Which records were created o Which jurisdictions held         those records

  -  What community influenced their lives

• Locations often explain migration patterns, economic opportunities, and family connections.

• A precise place can distinguish two people with the same name (in other words, the different FAN clubs).

The ZOOM log in information will also be posted here several days before the meeting.
