Toronto Branch UEL is pleased to present Beyond the Book: Fun Ideas for Showcasing Your Research with Janice Nickerson on Thursday, March 31 at 7:30 pm. The zoom meeting link will be sent to members prior to the meeting. If you are not a member of Toronto Branch UEL and would like to join, please contact torontoUEL@gmail.com.
Most genealogists spend years, even decades, researching their family’s history and then despair of ever writing “the book” that will showcase all their discoveries for their family. Don’t let your decades of family history research get buried with you. Over the last dozen years or so, Janice has developed an assortment of creative ways to give your family the gift of genealogy without the slog of writing a 500-page tome. This presentation will demonstrate a variety of ideas ranging from quick and easy ‘teasers’ to complex projects that really showcase your findings.
Janice Nickerson, U.E., is a professional genealogist based in Toronto. In non-pandemic times, she spends much of her time in archives and libraries searching old manuscripts, registers and copybooks for clues to her clients’ family histories. These days, she’s discovering newly digitized documents and giving Webinars through Zoom. Her expertise includes Upper Canadian history, criminal justice records, turning bare bones genealogies into shareable family stories, and using genealogy gifts and games to create a legacy. Her books, Crime and Punishment in Upper Canada: A Researcher’s Guide (2010), and York’s Sacrifice: Militia Casualties of the War of 1812 (2012) were both published by the joint imprint of the Ontario Genealogical Society and Dundurn Press. Janice is a proud 8th-generation Canadian, with English, German, Irish, Welsh and First Nations ancestry.
Please plan to join us for this interesting take on ideas for sharing your genealogical research with family.
