Michelle Goodrum will discuss "Cluster Research Using the FAN Principle (Friends, Associates, and Neighbors).

Our ancestors did not exist in a vacuum. They interacted with the people around them. To tell the stories of our ancestors and solve challenging genealogical questions, we need to investigate the lives of their friends, associates, and neighbors (FAN). Michelle Roos Goodrum's talk will cover research tools and strategies utilizing the FAN principle.
Michelle became involved in genealogy in 1994 when she discovered her family's stash of old documents and photographs. She is now the caretaker of 140 years of her family's history. Some of these documents revealed information about her ancestors' homes which sparked her interest in land records. She is also passionate about genetic genealogy. Michelle is an Instructor and Teaching Assistant for Boston University's Genealogical Research Program and the Genealogy Principles course. She regularly attends genealogy institutes and conferences.
