The Minnesota Genealogy Society will present “Keeping Up with the Jones Girls : Discovering a Relationship Using Indirect Evidence,” on Wednesday, Sept. 2 at 8 p.m. This case study connects a woman with her parents in 19th century Connecticut. Her maiden name is known but unfortunately that name is “Jones.” No document names her parents. By investigating potential parental couples, studying their known children, and identifying those children’s transactions with our target person, we will weave her back into her family. The techniques that are used are applicable to similar problems, regardless of location.
