The seminar theme is “Over the Pond.” Our ancestors came ACROSS the pond to come here, we are going OVER the pond to research their history. The two speakers will be:
1) Judith Brooks:
* High Road or Low Road - How and Why the Scots Migrated – This talk is basically a "big picture" history of the Scots and why they left Scotland starting in the 13th century through 19th and 20th centuries. They migrated all around the world and this talk will present how and why they landed in fifteen or more countries by country.
* Using Ancestral Religious Migratory Patterns to find Church Records to Further Your Research – This presentation covers the major Christian Religions in the early years, their history, where the majority migrated to in America and why. It recommends steps to locating potential churches based on these patterns.
