George Teeling came from Ireland to Chicago in the 1800s. Like many ancestors, he left a story that made his descendants wonder. How much of it was true?

The Board for Certification of Genealogists will present a webinar on this subject free to the public at 8:00 PM EDT 16 June 2015. Teresa Steinkamp McMillin, CG, will outline how research in a wide variety of sources revealed the even more fascinating truth about George – and how it can provide ideas for how to deal with our own tale-bearing research subjects.

Seating is limited for this webinar. Please register early and sign in early to avoid disappointment.

The board is an independent certifying body and author of the updated 2014 Genealogy Standards.
