Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Turning Genealogy Records into Compelling Stories – An Interview with Aryn S. Youngless
Q: How can people prove that they're descended from Passengers on the Mayflower and how can the society help?
Researchers should work backward from themselves one generation at a time, documenting each connection with evidence such as vital records, wills, land records, census records, and church records. The Society offers lineage books, a genealogical library, previously approved applications, and research services.
Turning Genealogy Records into Compelling Stories – An Interview with Aryn S. Youngless
Q: Why is it important to dig deeper than what information a record explicitly gives?
Records, especially census records, were created for government purposes rather than family history and often omit women's experiences. Looking at silences in documents and information about relatives, neighbors, and household members can offer clues to a fuller account.
Making the Most of Family History Month – An Interview with Kate Smith
Q: What would you say makes Family History Month special?
Kate emphasizes that October is an ideal time to celebrate family history, share discoveries with relatives, and engage people in the genealogy community by providing structured resources and a sense of belonging within local societies and the national network.
Preserving Diplomas and School Memories – An Interview with Denise May Levenick
Q: Can you tell us those other items that you really want to watch out for in an archive, especially around living materials and newspapers?
Denise cautions against saving organic materials like cake toppers or pressed flowers, suggests photographing or photocopying newspaper articles on acid-free paper, and emphasizes selective saving with context notes.
Preserving Diplomas and School Memories – An Interview with Denise May Levenick
Q: A lot of people will have these, they're popular items to display in the home. How can people do that safely?
Denise explains choosing acid-free materials, UV-protective glass, and archival framing practices, plus the value of displaying copies in public spaces to reduce risk to the originals.
