All About Obituaries and How to Find Them:
This week in Elevenses with Lisa episode 73 we are talking obituaries and the important role they can play in your genealogy. Obituaries can reveal a lot of really interesting and helpful information about your ancestors! My guest is Shannon Combs-Bennett, the author of the article A Genealogist’s Guide to Finding and Using Historical Obituaries published in Family Tree Magazine. She's going to share:
- The backstory on obituaries (which is vital to understand about any genealogical record)
- what they can tell you about your ancestors,
- where you can find them both online and offline,
- and strategies you can use when they aren't where you expected to find them.
