Local Genealogist Presents At Nappanee Public Library

Posted
NAPPANEE – Dr. Michael D. Lacopo will present his lecture “Deconstructing Your Family Tree: Re-Evaluating the Evidence” at the Nappanee Public Library from 10 to 11 a.m. Oct. 30.

When information passed on from researcher to researcher doesn't "add up," it's time to tear down the walls and rebuild anew, according to a news release from the library. This methodology lecture shows how erroneous conclusions can sneak into research uncontested. This lecture is pertinent especially today with so many internet family trees that get cut and pasted into our own research.

Lacopo is a retired small-animal veterinarian and professional genealogist born and raised in northern Indiana. Researching since 1980, he has lectured internationally and written for numerous periodicals and journals. A self-described “all-American mutt,” his research skills cover a broad range, with specialties in German research, Mid-Atlantic American research, genetic genealogy, social history and advanced problem-solving.
