Pushing BackThe Clock:
Finding pre-1850 Census Substitutes
Sat., September 21 • 10am – 12noon
at the Philip S. Miller Library, 100 S. Wilcox St., Castle Rock
Speaker: Ed Story
For many of us, the most inter-
esting pasts of our family tree are
the distant branches of people form
long ago. Unfortunately, common
sources like census or church
records become more sparse as
we go back in time. The presentation will focus on where and how to nd earlier documents. Ed is a big believer in going back to the source, rather than copying the trees of others. He will discuss how to nd early church records, older printed documents with a focus on overseas ancestors. Ed Storey grew up in Rochester, NY where he worked for General Motors for 40 years. With his wife, Nancy, he has lived in El Paso and Bejing before choosing Colorado Springs. Ed writes articles for magazines such as Internet Genealogy and Your Genealogy Today. His ancestral searches are primarily in England, India and Germany, as well as North Carolina.
Planning a Do-Able Project (Class) Register here “Glamorous Genealogy or Family History”
Presented by Dina Carson Wed., September 11 • 6:30-8:30pm Most genealogists love the hunt. They relish their time in the archives and libraries and can’t get to bed without one last look at the computer. Most of our non-genealogical relatives would rather read about what you’ve found
with or without the trip through the dust. But how do you choose a project that will showcase your hard work, without committing to another War and Peace? Leave the epic adventure to Tolstoy, this class will give you some tips and tricks to focus your research and writing so that you can wrap up a project in time for a holiday or family gathering.
