Monthly General Membership Meeting  (General Membership Meeting)
7:00 pm
Program: "Genealogical Gems in Ledgers" by Diane L. Richard
 
Have you explored “small business” ledgers, typically found in manuscript collections (privately held or as part of a university collection)? You can learn so much about your family, FAN club, and neighborhood through these records. Store (general, hatting, millinery, shoes, etc.), business (e.g., hotels, livery, stable, distillery, blacksmith, etc.), post office, health-related (e.g., Physician, Insane Asylum, etc.) and many other types of ledgers can link family members and provide content invaluable to your family history narrative. The frequent use of the barter system connected many! Samples of many ledgers are shared along with insight into the myriad resources helpful in discovering their existence.
