 9:30 AM - INCORPORATING SOCIAL HISTORY INTO YOUR RESEARCH.
 
Family history should be more than just names and dates.
What motivated them?
Why did they migrate?
Who did they interact with?
Broad discussion of social history and the sources.
 
11:30 AM - MEDICAL GENEALOGY:
 
A PRIMER OF DISEASES THAT KILLED
OUR ANCESTORS AND THE EPIDEMICS   THEY LIVED THROUGH.
 
Some researchers hunt for the death certificates of their ancestors but rarely read or 
understand the cause of death.
 
Dr. Michael D. Lacopo is a retired small-animal veterinarian born and raised in northern Indiana.
He takes a scientific approach to his research as he does to his profession.
Researching since 1980, he has lectured internationally and written for numerous periodicals and journals.
A self-described “all-American Mutt”, his research skills cover a broad range.
