Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual\, Trans\, and Que er folk have always been a part of our history and family stories. The con firmed bachelor or spinster aunt in our trees may not have been single. Pe rhaps they did have partners but there is no legal documentation or family acknowledgment. In this presentation by Stewart Blandó\;n Traiman\, he&rsquo\;ll explore census\, newspapers\, obituaries\, military records\ , photographs\, phone books\, and archives for clues on our ancestor's sex uality. He&rsquo\;ll also add in some LGBTQ history to put family stories into a social context. Finally\, we&rsquo\;ll discuss necessary changes to genealogical software to be inclusive of all families. Stewart has gather ed a wide breadth of genealogical source knowledge with over 30 years expe rience in the field\, both on-line and off-line. He is a professional gene alogist\, writes a genealogy blog\, and volunteers for the California Gene alogical Society. \;
