15 Jun 2013	Quinte OGS Branch Presentation Why Can't I Find It Online? Other Resources to Help with Your Search Presented by Ruth Blair, PLCGS, The Passionate Genealogist A good deal of research can be done online, and many believe this is all we need, but only about 1% of genealogical data has been digitized and been made available on the Internet. Great strides are being taken to get more data online, but it is a costly process and sometimes what is available is only a small reference to a certain record group, and not the actual image. Libraries and archives are still the main sources of information for the genealogical researcher, especially when you want to dig deeper. Ruth Blair will present case studies using such resources. She is a professional genealogist for Blair Archival Research, who has conducted family history research for over 25 years in Canada, Ireland, England, Scotland, United States, Australia and New Zealand. Ruth has lectured extensively to historical societies, libraries, and for OGS and its branches, as well as authoring "The Passionate Genealogist" blog.
