How to Make Collaborative Genealogy Projects Work

Bill Cole has conducted collaborative genealogy projects in the United States, Canada, and England. He has uncovered ancestors born at sea, a shipwrecked survivor pardoned from a death sentence who survived Jamestown, two Mayflower ancestors, and multiple Revolutionary War patriots on both sides. Bill is a member of the Mayflower Society and has presented for the New England Historic Genealogical Society. His breakthrough findings of English ancestors who immigrated to Plymouth Colony during the great migration from 1620-40 have been recently published in the Mayflower Descendant Journal.

In this presentation, Bill shares his “lessons learned” including what to do and what not to do to produce successful results. This program is a must for anyone considering or doing any type of collaborative genealogy project – whether it is long-distance or across town and with distant cousins or hired professionals.
