Teresa Steinkamp McMillin, CGsm is a professional genealogist who specializes in German, Midwest and Chicago ancestry. She recently became certified and is looking forward to lecturing in Cincinnati. All of her ancestors were German and she grew up in Quincy, Illinois, a town that has a strong German influence. Currently, Teresa lives in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. She is married to a Southside Chicago Irishman, whose ancestry she has also traced.
In Cincinnati, she will be presenting two lectures: “So, You’ve Found Your German Town of Origin, Now What?” (T-216) and “Hunting Henry: A Case Study Using Collaterals” (F-342). The first lecture was created because she felt like a lot of focus is typically given to finding that elusive overseas town where our ancestors were born. But often people come to her for help once they’ve found the town. They’re stumped and need help researching in a different country. Many of the tips in this talk can be applied to research in any country.
“Hunting Henry” is a culmination of several years of research related to the family of her second great grandfather. No oral traditions remained in her family about this branch. Come hear how this “brick wall” was disassembled. While this talk will showcase a German immigrant with links to Quincy, Illinois and Cincinnati, her research strategies can be used for ancestors of any ethnicity or locale. Teresa is looking forward to meeting you at the conference.
