BCG offers free webinar on Tuesday, February 15, 2022, 8:00 p.m. EST
From the Old Northwest to the Hawaiian Islands, the United States has acquired and settled new lands. If your ancestor pioneered pre-statehood territories, they may have left records valuable to documenting and understanding their lives. Discussion includes a timeline of territorial settlement and governance, and strategies for locating and using territorial records.
BCG’s next free monthly webinar in conjunction with Legacy Family Tree Webinars is “It Goes with the Territory! Find Your Ancestors in Pre-statehood Records” by Alice Hoyt Veen, CG®. This webinar airs Tuesday, February 15, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. eastern standard time (EST).
Alice Hoyt Veen is a Board-certified genealogist, professional researcher, and genealogical educator. She believes family history success lies in truly understanding the records our ancestors created. Her presentations reflect this philosophy through real case-study examples and hands-on practice. Alice has spoken at national, regional, and state conferences, and for numerous local organizations. She is a past trustee for the BCG Education Fund, a charitable trust advancing the educational aims of the Board for Certification of Genealogists.
