The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society will offer a week of free webinars at the beginning of January.
Monday, Jan. 4 – Finding Samuel Fletcher in New York Records and Beyond – 7 p.m.
The lack of vital records does not mean identities cannot be discovered or children named. Digging deep into online records and manuscript collections turned up evidence to tie Samuel Fletcher of Westville, NY to his Vermont origins and provided names for his children.

Tuesday, Jan. 5 – An Introduction to Researching Hispanic Ancestry – 6 p.m.
This overview lecture covers foundation concepts common to those with ancestors from countries colonized by Spain, and key U.S. records and strategies for identifying their Latin American hometown. It also reviews the main online record collections for conducting Hispanic research. Even non-Spanish speakers can be successful at this research.
