Southern Research
Southern research can be challenging due to lost records, records that were never kept at all, and multiple ethnic groups who lived in widespread areas, often separated more by geography than political boundaries. This class will dive into historic documents including land records, probate records, tax records, and maps, as well as the methodologies for using these records effectively in your research. The class will review methodologies to work around lost records and use the Genealogical Proof Standard to ensure that your research is correct.

The presenter Janet Vetter began studying botanical art in 2016. Janet’s paintings celebrate the annual appearance of many Rocky Mountain wildflowers, well-loved garden flowers and exotic orchid varieties. Janet is a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists (ASBA) and the Rocky Mountain Society of Botanical Artists. Janet shares her watercolor compositions with audiences by entering regional shows and juried exhibits. You will often find her hiking on a mountain trail, exploring nature and looking for her next moment of inspiration.
