Friday June 5, 12:30–2:30pm PT, German Interest Group (EGS)(Online). Topic: “Striking Gold: Using Cluster Research to Identify an Unknown Father by  Dana Palmer, CG®, CGL®  Visitors welcome and more information at https://gig.eastsidegenealogicalsociety.org/. Registration is required: https://tinyurl.com/432j5fvu 

Blended ethnic families can be tough to trace. Be successful finding your German ancestor’s parents by using cluster research techniques and free online tools. This case study presentation will show how an unknown father of a German Catholic family who lived in Cincinnati was found by searching for others with the same name who were living in the same location and belonged to the same church.

Discussion will show how analyzing church records, obituaries, cemetery and other records led to the discovery of the unknown father and his origins in Germany. This is a great example of using cluster research to find elusive ancestors.

Presenter:  Dana Palmer, CG®, CGL.® Dana specializes in Midwestern research, lineage society applications, and publishing family books.

Steven Waltz Morrison, MPA was an adjunct faculty for seven years, & the past-president of both the Puget Sound APG Chapter, and the Olympia Genealogical Society. He’s presented to all the genealogical societies across Western Washington. In 2022 he spoke at the NGS conference, and presented to international audiences in Canada and Ireland three times. In 2016, Steven received the Scholar Award from The American Society of Genealogists.He has coordinated genealogical institute courses on Quakers four times: at the British Institute, the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh, and at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy twice. In 2026, Steven will co-coordinate the first genealogical institute course focusing on the five Northwest States: Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, & Wyoming. It will be presented by the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy in February to May of 2026, as an online course. Twenty-three topics, with twelve instructors: Research in the US Northwest. 

Part 1: DIGGING UP NEW DIRT: Unearthing the REAL New England Immigrant. Do you believe that family associations know everything about their early New England ancestors? Well, guess again! While Deacon John Doane’s activities in the Plymouth Colony are well documented, his life in his mother country was a complete mystery. Learn what nuggets YOU might uncover about your elusive ancestor, by revisiting original records and adding historical context to your timeline. 

Part 2: DIGGING UP NEW DIRT: Finding, Proving, and Publishing. Follow the trials and tribulations of a small group of dedicated family researchers who set out to identify the ancestor of Deacon John Doane. Over a decades-long search, plausible theories were researched and eventually discarded as dead ends. Then the release of online records resulted in a wave of new discoveries. Comparative analysis from both sides of the pond eventually proved that a candidate from London, England was the likely youthful Deacon. A case study for the ages for anyone with a lost New England ancestor.
