The Heart of It All: A New Hampshire to Ohio Migration Case Study
Join us as Cari Taplin, CG, walks us through the case study of one family’s migration from New Hampshire to Ohio, a research project from start to near finish, using a large variety of records including vital records, censuses, newspapers, county histories, Google Books, and many more, even Ebay and will give the audience an idea of the many record types one might encounter in Ohio and elsewhere and give some steps to creating an in-depth biographical sketch. It also includes a section of important repositories to use with research in Ohio.
Cari A. Taplin is related to Roy Rogers. Or at least that’s what her family told her. As a result, finding her true heritage has been her focus since the year 2000. She is a native of Wood County, Ohio but now lives in Longmont, Colorado. Cari holds the Certified Genealogist® credential and has served in a wide variety of volunteer and leadership positions for state, local, and national societies.

As the owner of GenealogyPANTS, she provides speaking services. Cari currently works for Ancestry ProGenealogists. Cari’s personal research focuses on Midwestern and Great Lakes states. When she’s not working on her genealogy, she is a wife, and a mother of two young adults.
