Talking to relatives about their lives is one of the best ways to learn more information, especially great stories, about your family. The Jewish Women's Archive is offering a free Webinar on how to lead an oral history project. It will be primarily geared to working with students, but the description also mentions working with your community, so I'm sure the techniques discussed will be useful for almost any genealogist.
The Webinar will take place twice on Thursday, November 6, to accommodate more people's schedules. You can attend from 10:00–11:00 a.m. or 5:00–6:00 p.m., U.S. Pacific time. The registration forms have a handy little pull-down list that shows what times those are in pretty much any time zone.
Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.
