While most family historians focus their efforts on researching their own ancestry, others undertake surname studies, which compile all occurrences of a single surname. Have you started collecting surnames? You may be interested in building a one-name study! NEHGS, together with the Guild of One-Name Studies, is pleased to offer a two-day seminar that aims to teach you how to create, organize, and share a one-name project while deepening your knowledge of early New England and Atlantic Canadian research. The program includes lectures, research, consultations, and informal workshops. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. View the agenda and register today!
Book Event: Daisy Turner's Kin: An African American Family Saga
Presented by author Dr. Jane Beck
Where: NEHGS, 99-101 Newbury Street, Boston, Mass.
When: September 30, 6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
A daughter of freed African American slaves, Daisy Turner (1883-1988) became a living repository of history. The family narrative entrusted to her began among the Yoruba in West Africa and represented four generations of family history. Beck combines Turner's storytelling with historical research to build and authenticate a family saga. Join the author to learn more about Daisy Turner, her family's stories, and the hazards and uses of memory from a folklorist's perspective. Book sales and signing to follow. Register today!
