Presenter: Jill Morelli, CG, CGL, Certified Genealogist, lecturer, and writer

Direct evidence of the parents Kierstin Phersdotter is absent from the records. Even with records in short supply, clues exist that point to a reasonable conclusion. Four techniques will illustrate how to solve this tough genealogical problem: hypothesis building; same-named men studies; cluster research and the use of syllogisms. The study also illustrates the Genealogical Proof Standard. The personal research report will serve as the syllabus, which was submitted as part of the author's submission for renewal of her credential of Certified Genealogist. One judge thought the case had not been proven. You be the judge!

Presenter: Anders Modig, Historical Director of Åsle Tå

Åsle Tå [Osla Toe ]is an open-air museum known for having the largest remaining group of laborers’ cottages in Sweden. These crofter homes are located in their original locations and date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. The preserved village, which lies in the countryside just east of Falköping, tells the story of the locals who lived in the cottages. The grandmother of SGSC Member Joan Kirkpatrick was born in this village.
