Shopping Stories: Discovering a Community through Store Ledgers (General Meeting)
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Hollin Hall Senior Center, Rm 218
Speaker: Molly Kerr
Account books detail a wealth of information from a community – describing people,
places, objects, economies, politics, religion, events, etc. They are quite different
from the typical prose of a letter or diary as they often reveal insights into the
lives of less recognized members of a community, like the enslaved and women,
through their accounts and purchases by, and on behalf of them by others.
Learn what can be revealed about a community in and around eighteenth-century
Alexandria, Virginia, from store ledgers.
Genealogists will learn the value of using store ledgers to discover intimate details
about individuals from the past.
Molly Kerr is a Founding Director at History Revealed, Inc. With educational interests
in cultural anthropology (University of Mary Washington, BA) and archaeology (University
of Arkansas, Fayetteville, MA), her professional experience ranges from contract
archaeology to teaching teachers how to make history more engaging in the classroom to
the creation of a database cataloging the enslaved of George Washington. Most recently,
she has focused on store accounts from the 18th century for what they tell us about the
people, places, events, and material culture of the communities of Colchester and
Alexandria, Virginia.

Using Familysearch.org and/or Find A Grave (Training and Education)
HHSC, room 214
INSTRUCTOR: LINDA MACLACHLAN
If you want to learn about using the Familysearch website or Find A Grave, or have questions about some part of either website, Linda MacLachlan will meet informally with you in the Research Library any time period between 10am and 2pm on either the 1st or 2nd Wednesday of any month.
She asks that you send her an email at ggggrandmac@gmail.com to let her know the day and time you want to be reserved for your one-on-one.
Please remember to create a free account on either Familysearch or Find A Grave if you don't already have one, ahead of the day you come, and remember to bring your user id and password with you so we can work on your family data together on one of the Research Library's new large screen computers.
Please look at the relevant online tutorials before your appointment. They can be found on the MVGS website's Forum page under Training and Education. The full list of T&E items is at https://www.mvgenealogy.org/forum.php?ft=17
There are 4 handouts. One for Entering Info on Find A Grave; one for Entering Info on the Familysearch Family Tree; one for Using the Familysearch Website; and a general one for Calling Familysearch for Help from 2022.
Click on the handout you want. A page will come up for that item. Then click on the link for the File Attachment and the pdf will open.
