Genealogy SLAM!

Liz Pearson, speaker and specialist
 in English and Welsh genealogy
 research.
Elizabeth (Liz) Pearson

Liz Pearson is a native of England whose foray into genealogical research started about 35 years ago when an attempt to identify her grandmother turned into her very own family history addiction. Since then, she has spent thousands of hours combing the myriad English and Welsh archives in the UK, the US, and online for herself and others. Liz is an expert on ecumenical (1538-1837) and civil law (1837-Present) and the broad spectrum of Parish Chest Records.

Liz's two hour presentation covers three main areas and record sources:
1. Ecumenical Law; Parish Chest Records: (1538 - 1837) Baptisms, Marriages by Banns or License and Burials.

2. Civil Records of Birth, Marriage and Death. (1837-Present)

3. Census Records: Pre-1841; 1841- 1911, plus 1939 pre- WW2 Registry.
