SUMMARY:VGS Webinar: Uncovering Identities of an Enslaved African American Family with Tim Kilby [10 Apr 2024]
DESCRIPTION:From the book Gourdvine Black and White\, a case study with resources and research methods . . . and afterthoughts on acknowledgement\, restorative\, and reparative genealogy. \n\n\n\nTimothy Kilby earned degrees from Virginia Tech and Rochester Institute of Technology and had careers in education\, art\, and information technology before retiring in 2014. He grew up in the village of Sperryville\, Rappahannock County\, Virginia\, not far from the homesteads of his Kilby forefathers\, the subjects of decades of his genealogical research. In recent years he has devoted countless hours researching the people and events recounted in Gourdvine Black and White. Tim now lives in Northern Virginia with his wife\, Lois\, and step-grandson\, Caiman. He is active in the U.S. national organization\, Coming to the Table\, which works to heal from slavery’s legacy of deep-rooted racism. One hundred percent of proceeds from the sale of Gourdvine Black and White are donated to the Kilby Family Endowed Scholarship Fund to benefit descendants of the enslaved. \n\n\n\nVGS live webinars are open to all. However\, the handout and recording for each webinar are VGS member benefits. Please do not share the handouts and links to webinar recordings with non-VGS members. Webinars are held the second Wednesday of February\, April\, June\, August\, and December at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. \n\n\n\n			\n				\n					Register for this event.

Russell\, CG®\, CGLSMEvery document we locate in genealogical research has its clear use: a census record will help us identify family members and trace them over time; a court record will tell us what was happening with that person at that time; a will or probate record will help recreate a family at a specific point in time. But every document we locate can be mined-directly or in combination with other records-for more: a deeper richer context for our family members and their place and time.11:00 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.BREAK11:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.Reclaiming Our HistoryGayle Jessup White12:15 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.LUNCH1:00 p.m. – 1:25 p.m.VGS Annual Meeting1:25 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.BREAK1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.She Did What? Putting Your Ancestor in Historic ContextSara Gredler\, CG®\, AG®Sara discusses how to research and document your ancestors beyond vital records and relationships. In ways that help discover more about their lives. It weaves those broad historic themes and conflicts (war\, disease\, etc.) with everyday life. Without specific documents surviving to the present\, we can only do so much to think about how our ancestors lived. Even when specific documents survive\, we need historic context to show us why and how those records were created. Historic contexts help us fill in those gaps.2:30 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.BREAK2:45 p.m. – 3:45 p.m.She Came from NowhereMichael D. Lacopo\, DVMThis lecture illustrates the joys and pitfalls of Virginia research as well as employing a problem-solving approach utilizing social history\, female research\, and family analysis to identify the parents of Elizabeth Stith\, the ancestor “from nowhere.” One need not have Virginia ancestors to see the Genealogical Proof Standard at work!3:45 p.m. – 3:50 p.m.Closing Remarks
