Linda MacIver, Mining for Genealogical Gold in Federal Resources (webinar) Linda MacIver will discuss her discoveries regarding the wealth of federal records useful for genealogical research. She believes researchers haven’t done that “reasonably exhaustive search” unless they include more than the usual federal records. Linda MacIver is an educator, lecturer, librarian, and genealogy researcher. During her many years working at the Boston Public Library, she inaugurated the BPL patron genealogy classes. She taught the beginners’ genealogy course for five years and organized two extremely popular seasons of the Local and Family History series. She is the Civil Records Director for Federal Records for the Massachusetts Genealogical Council and a member of the Massachusetts Society of Genealogists (MSOG) and the Essex (Mass.) Society of Genealogists (ESOG). |
