"Where Did I Put That?": How to organize your genealogical research
By Eleanor Brinsko
 
The joy of finding genealogical treasures and evidence is the exciting part about building our family history narrative. But how do we know what we have? How can we keep the items safe? Eleanor Brinsko, of Carlon Genealogical Services, LLC, will guide the audience through organizing the evidence to make the information accessible and how to preserve the materials and information so it will last longer than a lifetime.
 
Eleanor Brinsko is a professional genealogist who does European-American genealogy and specializes in Scandinavian-American genealogy by looking at genealogical and social trends on both sides of the Atlantic.
 
Eleanor has given lectures for the Wisconsin Historical Society and public libraries, genealogical societies, and family reunions around the United States. She is also a contributor to the show “PBS’ Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr.”
