Time 9 AM-4 PM Where: Pensacola, FL Washington High School Auditorium Sponsored by: West Florida Genealogical Society About Elizabeth... She has served as president of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, as well as the American Society of Genealogists. She edited the National Genealogical Society Quarterly for 16 years, making it into a leading forum for the teaching of research methods and principles. For many years, she has been a very popular instructor at Samford University in Birmingham with her Advanced Research Methodology Track. She has written 13 books and over 500 articles and essays. Her latest book is Evidence Explained:Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace. Elizabeth also wrote Professional Genealogy:A Manual for Researchers, Writers, Editors, Lecturers and Librarians. Both are essentials for personal and professional genealogists. She has written an historical novel called Isle of Canes, an epic account of a Creole family through four generations as it rose from slavery to rule Cane River's fabled Isle (a story drawn from Elizabeth's personal research in the archives of six nations). It was declared a "masterpiece" by Historical Novels Review. She is the genealogist who has had the most impact on American genealogy in the post-Roots era.
