SLIG Fall Virtual 2024: An Advanced Study of Death: Cemeteries, Death Records, and Material Culture

 Join Gena Philibert-Ortega in her NEW course during SLIG Fall Virtual 2024. 



Death is a well-known subject for genealogists. To better understand our ancestor's lives, we study their deaths. But, like with any topic, understanding death and the records it produces is complex. Study into its complexity can help us better understand what records to expect and what not to expect. It also helps us understand and trace ancestral lives.

Unlike the typical genealogical treatment of the subject, this course takes an in-depth look at death records, social history, and material culture. We will spend time exploring records and learning more about the history of the recording of death. Students will come away with a better understanding of familiar records, the ability to identify unusual records, and how to research their ancestors beyond online databases.
