SUMMARY:Evidence and Analysis\, Timelines\, Vital Records Research\, and Fundamentals of Land and Probate Records for Genealogists
DESCRIPTION:Sold Out!The Beginning classes are sold out for 2022! \n\n\n\n\n\nEvidence and Analysis\, Timelines\, and Vital Records Research\n\n\n\nJim will provide a brief overview of Evidence and Analysis of genealogical records\, how to create and utilize timelines in your ancestral research\, and finish off this session with a look at Vital Records research. \n\n\n\nFundamentals of Land and Probate Records for Genealogists\n\n\n\nThe purpose of this program is to provide an overview of the land and probate record keeping systems used in the United States of America.

A few years later he joined ITT Community Development Corporation\, the developers of Palm Coast. In 1983\, he was transferred to ITT Rayonier in Fernandina Beach\, and remained with Rayonier after it was divested by ITT and became an independent company.

SUMMARY:The Last Spanish Land Grant in Florida
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Fernandina Beach Branch library on Tuesday\, January 18\, 2022 at 7 pm to hear the fascinating story of the family of Domingo and Mary Fernandez who owned large plantations on Amelia Island\, donated land for the Fernandina Lighthouse\, but whose descendants retain ownership of probably the Last Spanish land grant in Florida\, which constitutes one acre between St. Michael’s Church and St. Michael’s School between North 4th and 5th Streets. Descendants were plantation owners\, not only in Florida\, but also in Kenya; they were attorneys\, scholars\, ordinary people whose influence has been felt around the world. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Jean Mann\n\n\n\nSpeaker Jean Dixon Mann was born only a few miles from where her Dixon ancestors came to (Nassau County) Florida by 1805. She grew up in Fernandina Beach and graduated from Florida State University where she received her B.S. in Elementary Education. Jean and her husband returned to Fernandina Beach in 1992. She was a member of the Historic District Council in Fernandina Beach for 11 years\, serving as chairman for two years. She served as treasurer and member of the Board of Trustees of the Amelia Island Museum of History from 1993 to 2000. She was a founding member of the Amelia Island Genealogical Society and served as president (2015-2016) and editor of The Nassau Genealogist\, the quarterly publication of that organization for 25 years. Jean has published six family histories and was the editor for two publications for AIGS\, all of which are available in the Fernandina Beach Branch library.

SUMMARY:Books\, Periodical/Newspapers\, and Special Collections and Immigration and Emigration Records
DESCRIPTION:Sold Out!The Beginning classes are sold out for 2022! \n\n\n\n\n\nBooks\, Periodical/Newspapers\, and Special Collections\n\n\n\nDennis will review and demonstrate how to access the various free online book repositories for your genealogical research. He will share the benefits of PERSI and periodical research\, as well as Newspaper research through free and paid repositories. Finally\, he’ll discuss Special Collections that can be found online and offline that can assist you with your research. \n\n\n\nImmigration and Emigration Records\n\n\n\nDennis will review the push and pull reasons your ancestors may have had for leaving their old country and moving to the United States. He will review the variety of ports they may have arrived at\, and then review searching the Ellis Island Passenger List website as well as Castle Gardens. He will finish the class with a look at naturalization records\, where they can be found\, and what type of evidence you can find in them. \n\n\n\n\nClass Instructor: Dennis Partridge\n\n\n\nMy introduction to genealogy was back in high school while sitting in my freshman English class. The teacher invited a parent\, Mrs. Baker\, to the class to share with us her family tree. She descended from the Alden family of Mayflower fame\, and at the time\, I thought how cool it was to be descended from a Mayflower passenger. The class assignment was to compile a small family tree\, and my tree was one of the most pitiful presented in class. But I had caught the bug! \n\n\n\nI can now claim that I directly descend from Mayflower Passengers: Isaac and Mary (Norris) Allerton\, their daughter Mary Allerton\, Degory Priest\, John Tilley and Joan (Hurst) Tilley\, & John and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland. I also descend from many of the original founders of Quebec and Montreal\, as well as one Algonquin man and Huron woman. My research strength covers the New England area including Quebec. \n\n\n\nI have been conducting personal research into my family since 1980. In 1996\, in the infancy of the Internet\, I morphed into a web developer bringing with me my passion for genealogy. Today\, I own and operate AccessGenealogy (https://www.accessgenealogy.com/)\, one of the largest\, privately owned genealogical websites online – well-known and frequented by Native American family researchers. I also serve as President and webmaster for the Amelia Island Genealogical Society.
