Special Webinar: Chicago Genealogy Society Commemorates America 250

From colonial expansion to revolution, 18th-century America was a time of upheaval. Discover how political, cultural, and social transitions shaped recordkeeping, and learn where to find the surviving documents of your ancestors.

Our speaker, Sylvia Tracy Doolos, has been interested in genealogy for forty-five years and has been working as a professional genealogist for over ten years as the owner of New Leaf Genealogy. She is President of the Colorado Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists (CAPG), and the Wales, Ireland, Scotland, England Family History Society (WISE), and Past President of the International Society for British Genealogy and Family History (ISBGFH). Sylvia is actively involved as a genealogical volunteer with both the Denver Public Library and the Carbon Valley Library and is an active member of several other genealogy societies. Sylvia is a proud graduate of ProGen 48 and has a B.A. in History with a minor in English focusing on linguistics, so she could study how language changes affected record keeping.
