General Meeting (in a Zoom Video Conference) 

"Grandma Nellie’s Scrapbook: Identifying and Interpreting Historic Photographs"

by Tina Beaird

Many people become heirs to a box of unidentified family photos and have no clue what to do with them. Tina will offer solutions for identifying these ‘lost’ family members by teaching attendees how to use genealogy sources in conjunction with observational techniques.

Tina Beaird is owner of Tamarack Genealogy and is also a Genealogy/Local History Librarian at the Plainfield Public Library in Plainfield, IL. Tina lectures extensively on topics including genealogical methodology, military research and archival preservation. She is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild and the Association of Professional Genealogists as well as First V.P. of the Illinois State Genealogical Society and Board Director for the Oswego Heritage Association. She volunteers her time with several historical and genealogical societies across Illinois. Tina has provided research assistance for nearly twenty years and has been researching her family’s history, as time permits, for over thirty years. She is a rabid baseball fan and her and her family have visited 26 out of 30 Major League Ballparks across the U.S.
