FREE BCG-SPONSORED WEBINAR

“Uncovering Immigrant Origins Through Cluster Research”

by Dana Ann Palmer, CG®, CGL(SM)

Tuesday, December 21st, 8:00 p.m. EST

Descendants of an early Ohio immigrant family had no idea of its origin. Cluster research brought success, using United States records as well as foreign-language records. This webinar considers what to do when no records exist on your direct line, and the family has no helpful oral history or documentation. Tracing associates who traveled together or came from the same area can break down that brick wall.

BCG’s next free monthly webinar in conjunction with Legacy Family Tree Webinars is “Uncovering Immigrant Origins Through Cluster Research” by Dana Ann Palmer, CG®, CGL(SM). This webinar airs Tuesday, December 21st, 2021, at 8:00 p.m. eastern standard time (EST).

She specializes in lineage society applications, publishing family books, Midwestern research specifically Ohio, but she also has experience in Germany, Denmark, and the U.K. She has received numerous awards for her books and volunteer efforts. She belongs to several lineage societies including DUP, DAR, USD 1812, and Colonial Dames (pending). She loves problem solving and tracking down those elusive ancestors.
