Dan Poffenberger - Getting the Most Out of the Family History Library CatalogueA Professional Researcher's Tips and Tricks The key to research is source material. The key to an incredible amount of source material is the Family History Library Catalog (FHLC). This is particularly true if it will be necessary to order microfilm to a local centre. This lecture will thoroughly review the FHLC in a way that will help you find the information you are looking for.
There is more information in the Family History Catalog than meets the eye. If not searched properly you can miss valuable information
The fact that the microfilms are now being digitised and linked to the index record is amazing
John Grenham – Whatever you’re having yourself: Irish census substitutesThe talk includes a brief summary of the better-known census substitutes, but focuses on more useful and lesser-known records, including the Loan Funds, the Charleton Marriage Fund, agricultural surveys, official petitions and electoral records. Since the range of records is by definition infinite, a complete account is impossible; the aim of the talk is to sketch the main areas in which these records are being uncovered, to show how they can be used, and to bring hope to those who have run out of the standard Irish sources. John gave us a list of useful websites some free and some pay sites. I will post them here soon.
