Presenter: Banai Lynn Feldstein

Now is a great time to be a genealogist. In the past, the only way to find records was to sift through microfilm and to snail mail requests and hope for replies. But now, there are so many web sites with indexes and record images that a lot of research can be done without ever leaving your home. But even with such easy access, sometimes the records are still elusive. What happens if the name was spelled wrong? What if the handwriting was so bad that the index is too far off for the search engine to find what you're looking for? What if the indexer just got it wrong? With her computer programming background, and experience programming a genealogy search engine, Banai will teach you some of the techniques she uses to try to find the elusive records.
