MEETING ON ORGANIZATION RECORDED 5/8/2021



WHEN DID A STATE BECOME A STATE????

                          https://1drv.ms/w/s!AjS2RGb0p-4Ppx-gOd7ciMvgX0c0?e=C0Osra

You need this pdf handy in case someone says they were born in a year before the state was even a state.  What state was before it?  That is where the records just might have been - in the state at the closest boundary.  

You can't say I was born in California in 1843 if it didn't become California until 1850...Our last zoom goes over this in detail.  Just scroll back and watch the examples.

FAMILY HISTORY GAME -     Sample page with dummy information (not real) gives ideas where to search if a teacher were to try to find information.

Then you give the information of a real person and family and let them look at the sample info and place the markers in the right order.  * markers  are at the bottom - cut apart and put each set into a different envelope... they will need glue or tape.
