The Genealogy Society of Vallejo-Benicia’s Thursday September 5, 2024 meeting featured speaker is James M. Baker, PhD. His topic is “Finding the Hardest Ones”
Mr. Baker will use Case studies to illustrate and discuss his seven strategies to find the most challenging data: (1) collaborating with other genealogists; (2) search engine research; (3) digging in giant tomes; (4) checking property/tax records; (5) broadening the search; (6) performing on-site research; and (7) analyzing DNA evidence.
This is Part 1 of a two-part presentation. Part 2 will be at next month’s meeting on Thursday October 3.
Mr. Baker has been an active genealogist for over 15 years. He specializes in German, Midwest US, early American research, and DNA. He has written articles for the National Genealogical Society (NGS) Magazine, the NGS Quarterly, and Der Blumenbaum, the journal of the Sacramento German Genealogy Society.
