 , in person\, or by phone at 330.643.9030.</p>\n<p>Christine will present 
 two lectures:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>What's a Professional Genealogist?</li>\nMany
  people have never hired a professional genealogist. But the demand is inc
 reasing as more and more people find elusive family members in their own r
 esearch or just need help getting started. Or maybe you would love to know
  your family history but just don&rsquo\;t have time to invest. In this ta
 lk I cover things you should consider before\, during\, and after hiring a
  professional genealogist.\n<li>Tales From the Life of a Professional Gene
 alogist</li>\nTruth is often stranger&nbsp\;than fiction. In this talk\, I
  will present seven different stories collected during my time as a profes
 sional genealogist. One story is not true. Can you figure out which one it
  is? In each story\, I will share with you information on genealogical res
 earch methods and resources. If you are not careful\, you will learn somet
 hing and may even get bitten by the genealogy bug!</ol>\n<p>Christine has 
 been a genealogist for over 20 years. Her educational background is based 
 in geological\, environmental\, and computer engineering. She researches w
 ithin the United States but has also done research in Canada\, the United 
 Kingdom\, and Europe. She provides genealogical research\, consulting\, an
 d presentations with a focus on forensic genealogy including probate cases
 \, DAR applications and supplementals\, and residential genealogies. Learn
