What Would Nancy Drew Do
in the Quest for a Missing Family?
Sat., October 26 • 10am – 12noon
at the Philip S. Miller Library, 100 S. Wilcox St., Castle Rock
Speaker: Ellen Kowitt
Researching family history is a lot like
solving a Nancy Drew mystery. Join us for
an overview showcasing examples and
techniques that genealogists use every day
as found in the original classic series primar-
ily written by Ohio’s own Mildred Wirt Benson. Although Nancy Drew is popular around the world having been published in over 45 countries in 30 languages, the focus of this lecture is on U.S. records; we’ll go on an adventure exploring old and new tools of the trade, library materials, court records, newspapers, gravestones, incorporating community history, and some very untraditional resources. Ellen Kowitt is Vice President of the Colorado Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists, a past pres- ident of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Colorado, and a member of the Indian Peaks Chapter NSDAR. She has been researching her own family history for 25 years and enjoys helping others as a mentor. Ellen lectures, publishes articles, and volunteers at the Colorado State Archives indexing naturalization and probate records.
