Saturday, February 8
OGS Half-Day Hybrid Seminar (Seminars)
10:00 am to 12:30 pm OGS Annex, 965 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR and on Zoom
Someone Stole My Family
If, in genealogy, you follow a common name, such as Graham, you might stumble across other people by that name. It might seem that they are part of the same family, but you need to be careful with your research. In Dorothy’s case with her Grahams, she found two incidents where this happened. In the first case, a historian for a town in New Hampshire decided to marry her ancestor to another woman and a set of children who are part of her family but not his. In the second case, a person applying for a Revolutionary War lineage thought his family was the one in the Battle of Bunker Hill, even if the patriot didn’t live in Peterborough, New Hampshire.
Use of DNA to Verify a Family Tree
Using the various tools of genealogy as well as biological evidence, Dorothy will show you how she established both historical proof and autosomal and Y-chromosome DNA evidence to connect her John Graham (before 1730-before l1787) of Hancock, NH to her Coltrin-Graham family.
Recordings of both sessions will be available for viewing for two weeks following the seminar.
Registration: OGS Members $20 Nonmembers $25
You may attend virtually via Zoom or in-person. We will have seating available for 24 people to attend in person at the OGS Annex, 965 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR 97401, next to the OGS library.
Coffee, tea, and ice water will be available in the Annex.

Transcribing & Extracting Document Information (Hybrid class) (Education)
10:00 am to 12:00 pm HYBRID: OGS Annex, 965 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR and on Zoom
One of the best tips I received was to transcribe and extract the data in the genealogy documents I use in my research. Whether it is a handwritten or typed document, a newspaper article, or information in a periodical or book, you gain more information from it when you transcribe and extract the data. This class will demonstrate the difference between transcribing, abstracting, and extracting information and how to do it by hand, on a computer, and using artificial intelligence.
The class will be recorded and available for those registered to view for two weeks following the class.
