SUMMARY:Tax Records: More Exciting Than You Might Think
DESCRIPTION:“Tax Records: More Exciting Than You Might Think” with Annette Burke Lyttle\, CG \n\n\n\nSaturday\, February 15\, 2025\, 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nNetworking at 10 a.m. \n\n\n\nVirtual Meeting \n\n\n\nTax records can help us locate our ancestors in place and time. They can tie our ancestors to land or confirm for us that an ancestor did not own land. They can help us follow ancestral migrations and separate same-named persons. Sometimes they can help us pinpoint a death date or timeframe. Tax records can act as censuses between the censuses. The variety of taxes levied by governments at all levels has left a rich record of our ancestors’ lives and their sometimes-changing fortunes. \n\n\n\nAnnette Burke Lyttle holds the Certified Genealogist® credential. She provides professional genealogical services in research\, education\, and writing. She speaks on a variety of genealogical topics at the national\, state\, and local levels and loves helping people uncover and share their family stories. Annette is a course coordinator for the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy and the British Institute. She is a published writer whose research interests include Quaker ancestors and ancestral migrations in the US. She is past president of the Association of Professional Genealogists and editor of The Florida Genealogist. \n\n\n\nMembers will automatically receive the Zoom link via email about a week before the event.

SUMMARY:Secrets of the Asylum
DESCRIPTION:“Secrets of the Asylum” with Julianne Mangin \n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 16\, 2024\, 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.  \n\n\n\nNetworking at 10 a.m. \n\n\n\nVirtual Meeting \n\n\n\nThe virtual program is one of many member benefits of the Connecticut Ancestry Society. Members will be sent a Zoom link in the week prior to the meeting.  \n\n\n\n“What do you do when your family stories don’t add up?” \n\n\n\nRetired librarian Julianne Mangin was a reluctant genealogist — at first. But after acquiring her ailing mother’s genealogy files\, she was drawn into the family history. All she had wanted to do was fact check her mother’s cryptic stories of her childhood\, which featured a delicatessen\, a state hospital\, a county home for neglected children. In 2012\, she acquired her grandmother’s patient record from Norwich State Hospital\, and the secrets just poured out.Using patient records\, genealogical methods\, and DNA testing\, Mangin has pieced together a family story that reads like a Dickens novel. Weaving in what she learned about intergenerational trauma and the consequences of family secrets\, Mangin has created a testament to the power of family history to empower people and heal old wounds. \n\n\n\nJulianne Mangin is a retired librarian with a thirty-year career in Federal government libraries\, including the Library of Congress (1998-2011). She is now an independent researcher\, writer\, local and family historian\, and cemetery preservation advocate. Her first book\, Secrets of the Asylum is the result of several years of deep research into the mysteries of her family.
