Have you ever thought of hiring a professional genealogist or wonder what they do? Join Christine Cochran for some practical advice and surprising insight.

Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.643.9030.

Christine will present two lectures:

  1. What's a Professional Genealogist?
  2. Many people have never hired a professional genealogist. But the demand is increasing as more and more people find elusive family members in their own research or just need help getting started. Or maybe you would love to know your family history but just don’t have time to invest. In this talk I cover things you should consider before, during, and after hiring a professional genealogist.
  3. Tales From the Life of a Professional Genealogist
  4. Truth is often stranger than fiction. In this talk, I will present seven different stories collected during my time as a professional genealogist. One story is not true. Can you figure out which one it is? In each story, I will share with you information on genealogical research methods and resources. If you are not careful, you will learn something and may even get bitten by the genealogy bug!
