SLIG 2019 - Course 8: Native American Research

Today, more Americans claim descent from at least one Cherokee ancestor than any other Native American group. Is there a Native American story in your family or would you just like to learn more about Native American research?

Over the last several years, digitization of Indian records and advances in DNA testing have helped open new areas of tribal research.

SLIG's Course 8: Native American Research is is designed for both the genealogist trying to get started and those who want to learn how to assist others in searching for Native American roots. Students will learn what to look for in identifying a potential native ancestor, give practical guidance through the research process, and demonstrate how to analyze evidence for proof. 

Rick Fogarty and his instructors have designed an educational and hands-on course that will provide information and practical experience. A research project will be assigned to help attendees use the techniques they have learned in the course and the course also includes some guided assistance at the Family History Library.
