Presented by Julia A. Anderson, this webinar offers a foundational framework for tackling the distinct challenges of genealogical research in the American South, such as record loss, boundary changes, and complex migration patterns. Through practical methodology and a real-world case study, the session outlines ten essential strategies—including leveraging local history, utilizing FAN (Friends, Associates, and Neighbors) networks, and thoroughly analyzing substitute records—to help researchers overcome brick walls and uncover their Southern ancestral lines.
