Legacy's webinar this week is called "Using Periodicals to Find Your Ancestors." Gena Philibert-Ortega will be presenting the topic on Wednesday, September 30, directing it toward both beginner and intermediate research levels. If you haven't had a chance to use newsletters from state societies or local genealogy clubs, you might be missing some clues for ancestor research. We have had great success using them at the Allen County Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which has one of the country's largest collections. Register or read more about it at www.familytreewebinars.com. Here's the description from Legacy:
Periodicals can fill in the pieces between the birth and death of your ancestor. Whether the information is biographical, a transcription, or reporting on an event, periodicals provide rich detail about your ancestor’s life. In this lecture we will discuss the types of periodicals that exist and what indexes (JSTOR, PERSI and others) to use to find articles.
