We’re gearing up for our research trip to Virginia. Our latest episode, # 99, delves into our preparation process for this journey. We discuss the individuals we’ll be studying and the reasons behind our research focus. Join us as we share insights into our upcoming on-site investigation.
Our research targets specific ancestors with unknown parentage in our genealogical records. We’ll concentrate on uncovering information about these elusive forebears through non-digitized documents and diverse archival materials. We’re particularly interested in locating absent marriage certificates, tax records, and public works documents, which could provide valuable clues. We also plan to explore vertical files as part of our investigation. You know how much we love those files!
In this episode about our upcoming research trip, we discuss our chosen subjects of study, our reasons for selecting them, and the specific materials we aim to find in the library archives. For a more comprehensive guide on preparing for genealogical field work, listeners may want to revisit our earlier Episode #43 on research trip planning, which offers additional insights and tips.
We can’t wait to share our findings with you in August!
Cheers!
