Genealogy of a House: Techniques for Building the Story
of Your Home by Cynthia Guffey
Do you live in a historical house, or want to research a home or farmhouse owned by your ancestors? This program will give you techniques to find the records you need to build the story of your house and the families who have lived there in the past. A case study of a Tennessee historic home will be used to illustrate the steps and records available.
Today’s speaker, Cynthia Guffey, has been interested in family history since a teenager, and began researching in courthouses, libraries, the National Archives, and visiting cemeteries to record and save family history. She is a genealogist who specializes in Pennsylvania, East Tennessee, Scottish, and Quaker records.
She speaks to genealogy societies and is a member of many historical and lineage societies. She served as the previous TNGS Vice President. Cynthia is the editor for the Northumberland County Historical Society (PA) newsletter. She is the current Vice President of the Signal Mountain Genealogical Society and the Prudhomme Fort Colonial Dames Chapter in Chattanooga.
Cynthia is a graduate of University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the University of Alabama at Huntsville.
