Class: Resources at the Tucson Family History Center
An overview of the genealogy and family history resources at the Tucson Family History Center, including information on free access to many paid subscription sites, consulting services, photo and document scanning, and the large collection of books and materials.
Speaker: Bob Black
Bob Black retired in 2015 after a 38-year career in healthcare human resources. He has been volunteering at the Family History Center since 2011 and served as Director from 2014 until early 2019. He currently serves on the PCGS Steering Committee. He has a bachelor's and master's degree from Brigham Young University.

Program: Unreliable Records: Don't Believe Everything You Read!
The genealogy records we rely upon can be incorrect for a variety of reasons. Here’s a lighthearted look at some examples Kathleen has found while researching her family tree. Let’s laugh at the confusion that unreliable records may cause! And then talk about the importance of “reasonably exhaustive research” and "resolving conflicting evidence”
Speaker: Kathleen Carter
Kathleen Carter was the first female certified sommelier in Arizona, and has taught wine appreciation classes for years. She also enjoys helping people to discover their ancestors and reaffirm family stories. Kathleen is an instructor of the “Genetic Genealogy in Practice” Study Group for the Pima County Genealogy Society.
