What will be covered: Practical steps to help you explore your family history sharing tools and resources to aid in your genealogy research.

Janice Smithers passion for genealogy began at a young age, sparked by the stories her grandmother shared—stories that often held just a kernel of truth. Those tales did lead her down path though of exploring my family's stories of military heroism, workers’ rights, westward migration, tragic crimes, and the effect of past pandemics.

The hallmark of her research approach is ensuring that events and stories are supported by multiple, reliable sources. Information can be recorded, transcribed, or handed down imperfectly—reconciling those inconsistencies is her favorite part of her work, backed by over 20 years of experience as an analyst.
