What can an ancestor’s death tell you about the life they lived?

Go beyond names, dates, and burial records to explore the historical and cultural context surrounding death in America. In Part 2 of Death in Context, you’ll examine funerals, mourning customs, health, cemeteries, and remembrance to better understand your ancestors’ experiences and the communities in which they lived.

Move beyond simply documenting a death and discover how historical context can help you tell a richer, more complete family story.

Registration for SLIG Spring Virtual 2027 is now open. Please note that completion of Part 1 is required before taking Part 2. https://academy.ugagenealogy.org/courses/death-in-context-2-exploring-health-funerals-mourning-and-memorial-landscapes-in-america/

You’ve learned how to bring your ancestors back to life. Now it’s time to take your storytelling to the next level.

This advanced, workshop-style course is designed for genealogists who already have experience writing genealogical narratives and want to strengthen their craft. You’ll work on your own ancestor’s story, explore advanced narrative techniques, enjoy dedicated writing time, and receive detailed feedback and individual support from the instructors.

By the end of the course, you won’t just have learned more about writing. You’ll have made meaningful progress on a story of your own.

What if you could spend an entire week focused on YOUR research question—with expert guidance along the way?

Guided Research and Consultation, coordinated by Craig Roberts Scott, MA, CG, FUGA, gives students the opportunity to work on their own personal research projects both online and in the Family History Library.

Throughout the week, students will review their progress and findings through regular group meetings and one-on-one consultations, with assistance available during designated research hours.

Bring your research. Bring your questions. And spend the week making progress with a guide by your side.

Think you’ve already searched all the New England records? Think again.

Research in New England, coordinated by D. Joshua Taylor, MA, MLS, FUGA, is designed for experienced genealogists who are ready to move beyond basic searches and dig more deeply into the region’s rich record collections.

Explore town records, land and probate records, compiled and published sources, and lesser-known materials while learning how New England’s history shaped record keeping from the colonial period through the nineteenth century.

That stubborn New England research question may simply need a new approach.
Registration opens September 12. https://academy.ugagenealogy.org/courses/research-in-new-england/
