BCG offers free webinar on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, 8:00 p.m. EDT
Descendants of an early Ohio family had no idea of their origins. Following an associated family brought success after wading into foreign-language documents. When traditional records fail to reveal an ancestor’s place of origin, cluster research provided the needed clues.
This presentation shows how to use cluster research to break through brick walls. Discussion will include how to determine the place of origin using records found in the United States and what to do when no records exist on your direct line. A challenging case study focusing on a Catholic family from the Alsace-Lorraine area of France that settled in Cincinnati by 1831 will be shared.
