SUMMARY:MVGS 2023 Conference: Serving Our Nation: Our Military\, Families\, and Communities [25 Mar]
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mount Vernon Genealogical Society for four informative lectures presented live\, in-person at the Hollin Hall Senior Center.  \n\n\n\nRebecca Whitman Koford \n\n\n\nMissing—Presumed Dead: A Case Study of Civil War Records \n\n\n\nThis presentation focuses on the life of a Union soldier in the Civil War\, his family\, and the experiences that lead to his death at Cold Harbor\, Virginia.  We will examine records to pull out the details of his war service with federal records\, newspapers\, maps\, and a Confederate pension.  With the application of social history to contextualize these records\, his story can be told. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClaire KluskensCivilians at War:  Records of Participation in U.S. Military Conflicts \n\n\n\nThis presentation will focus ways that civilians participated in efforts to support a war – or were directly affected by it – from the American Revolution to World War I.  War provided opportunities for employment by civilian or military agencies.  Individuals provided goods\, services\, or loans.  They suffered property losses and sought reimbursement.  We’ll focus on examples of online records that document these relationships with the Federal Government (ca. 1776-1918) and Confederate States Government (1861-65).  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOlivia Millunzi \n\n\n\nContested Ground: Research in Areas of Divided Loyalty \n\n\n\nThis talk will give a brief overview of some of the divided geographic areas and social groups in conflicts ranging from the Colonial Wars to the Civil War.  Then\, we’ll dive into Long Island during the American Revolution\, specifically the Dutcher family\, to explore the challenges and rewards of dealing with families- and individuals- with shifting allegiances during periods of conflict.  The Dutcher family straddled the line during the American Revolution\, featuring members pensioned for Revolutionary service in support of the Patriots\, members who fled north to Canada after the war\, and some members whose loyalties are harder to define.  Given their divided loyalties\, the Dutchers are a great example to show the records available for families of all walks of life in areas of contested ground. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMary K. Mannix\, MA\, MLS \n\n\n\nHow I Learned to Appreciate Fold3 \n\n\n\nFold3\, an Ancestry product available at many public libraries\, and includes remote access\, is a major electronic resource for locating American military records.  It can\, however\, be awkward to use for the uninitiated. The speaker will help us all to maneuver through Fold3 more confidently and break down any doubts about including it in our regularly on-line genealogy toolbox. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n					Register Here

SUMMARY:GRIVA Program Meeting—The Seedbed of America: Eastern Shore History and Records [28 Mar]
DESCRIPTION:Join the Genealogical Research Institute of Virginia (GRIVA) for their monthly virtual meeting featuring G. Ray Thompson\, Phd.  \n\n\n\nDr. Thompson begins with a brief outline of the history of the Eastern Shore of Virginia and Maryland\, then takes a look at an overview of its many record types. Following that\, he’ll look at little known records of importance to family historians who are researching Eastern Shore families. These records\, the oldest continuous records in British speaking America\, offer much for genealogists as it was from the Eastern Shore that many waves of migrations west took place\, eventually reaching the western coast of America. Dr. Thompson will also look at significant secondary sources and the types of transcriptions of records available. Many researchers will discover that they have Eastern Shore antecedents! Question and answer period will follow the visual on-line discussion of Delmarva’s myriad records. \n\n\n\nDr. Thompson retired from Salisbury University in Maryland in 2016 as a distinguished professor of history where he served for 44 years\, including as Chairman of the History Department for 12 years. He co-founded the Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture at Salisbury University in 1982\, and he served as its co-director for over 20 years. The Nabb Center is a hands-on laboratory in which history students are taught how to read\, interpret\, and write narrations based on original documents. It also houses a collection of Delmarva primary and secondary source materials valuable for genealogical research. His work outside of academia has included serving on many councils and boards. To name just a few: he has been past president of the Lower Delmarva Genealogical Society; president for 17 years of the Wicomico County chapter of the Maryland Historical Trust; and a member of the Governor’s Advisory Board for National Historic Publication and Records. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n					Register Here
