SUMMARY:WMGS Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our May 6th monthly meeting will feature a live webinar with genealogist and author\nMichael John Neill. His topic will be “Researching the Entire Family.” Focusing only\non a direct line can cause significant information to be overlooked and larger patterns to\ngo unnoticed. Michael discusses\, via examples\, the importance of researching the\nsiblings and at least first cousins of a direct ancestor. \nMichael has been an active genealogical researcher since the early 1980s and has researched his or his children’s families in most states east of the Mississippi River and several European countries. He has lectured nationally\, gives day-long seminars\, and regularly leads research trips to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne\, Indiana. \nMichael has a master’s degree in mathematics and has been on the math faculty of\nCarl Sandburg College in Illinois since the early 1990s. His research interests\ninclude methodology\, land records\, the immigrant experience\, chain migration\,\nand researching female ancestors. \nIn addition to hosting several blogs and Facebook sites\, including Rootdig and Genealogy Tip of the Day\, Michael has recently published a collection of his most popular daily tips titled Genealogy Tip of the Day. It’s a must read for all genealogists – guaranteed that you’ll learn something new.
