It Gets Even Better Offline
Featured Guest Speaker: Tom Jones
Description: Anecdotes show how to follow online clues to valuable offline information (and vice versa). This presentation will also explore the fun and serendipity aspects of offline research..
Presenter Info: Tom Jones has been pursuing his ancestry since 1963. For the first twenty-five years he was clueless about what he was trying to accomplish and how to do it. When he started climbing the genealogy learning curve he repeatedly experienced the challenges, joys, and rewards of tracing ancestors reliably and of fully understanding their lives. Tom eventually became an award-winning writer, board-certified genealogist, editor of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, recipient of honors from genealogical organizations, and author of the popular textbooks Mastering Genealogical Documentation and Mastering Genealogical Proof.
