August 2017 ISGS Webinar - Ten Years is a Long Time: Census Substitutes for the In-between Years


Title:  Ten Years is a Long Time: Census Substitutes for the In-between Years

Date: Tuesday, August 8, 2017, 8:00 pm Central

Description: The federal census gives us wonderful clues for our research, but the ten years between each census is a long time. This presentation will discuss records that can be used to fill in the gap and add more points to your ancestor's timeline.

Presenter: Amy Johnson Crow, CG

Amy Johnson Crow is a Certified Genealogist and an active lecturer and author. Her roots run deep in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic states. She earned her Masters degree in Library and Information Science at Kent State University. Amy loves to help people discover the joys of learning about their ancestors.
