Accredited Genealogist, well known genealogical author and lecturer Mary E. V. Hill tackles the complex Mid-Atlantic region in her SLIG 2010 course. The Mid-Atlantic region consists of five states: New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware. Although these states are genealogically diverse they share commonalities in history, record keeping, settlement, and migrations.
Mary and her team of instructors will discuss records, repositories, and key procedures for researching in the Mid-Atlantic region. Of particular note are three major immigration ports found in the region, as well as a diversity of major cities and rural areas. Topics covered will include:
