(Hope to reschedule) Using Hinshaw and other Finding Aids to locate Original Quaker Records
Heritage Quest Research Library
During the past century, Quaker historians and clerks have been busy copying old meeting records and have created a wide variety of finding aids. In the 1930s, Willard W. Hinshaw began publishing six volumes of his historic Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, with Willard C. Heiss, following with six volumes for just Indiana. Learning how these tools can shortcut your search for
original Quaker records.

Myths, Legends and Lies: The Dangers of Family History Research
Heritage Quest Research Library
Can you handle the truth? Family History Research is a burgeoning pursuit thanks to TV programs like “Who Do You Think You Are?” “Genealogy Roadshow” and “Finding Your Roots.” But before you jump in, have you asked yourself if you are prepared for what you might discover?
Together we will be opening closets to expose skeletons, peeking under the lid of Pandora’s Box, and shining light on the ethical dilemmas you may encounter in the quest to find your missing ancestors. They may have good reasons for why they are hiding from you.
