This lecture will focus on the group of people known as the Scots-Irish”.  Just who are they and what brought them to America?  Why did they settle in New York, Canada, New England, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Appalachian frontier?

Many Americans can trace their ancestry back to the British Isles.  Some have even heard that their background was “Scotch-Irish”.  We will focus on who these people were and where they came from in the British Isles.

SOUTH KING COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society Signers of the Declaration of Independence

Presentation: Meet the Signers of the Declaration of Independence

(The presentation and meeting this month will not be available via Zoom but we would love to see you in person at the library.)

Tuesday, June 10th

1:00 pm – SVGS Library 6111 188 PL NE, Arlington, WA

Sally Buckingham will be speaking. 

Our business meeting and board meeting will follow the presentation at 2 PM. 

Sally’s topic: Meet the Signers of the Declaration of Independence

Join us as Sally brings the signers of the Declaration of Independence to life. In an 1811 letter to Adams, Benjamin Rush recounted the signing in stark fashion, describing it as a scene of “pensive and awful silence”. Rush said the delegates were called up, one after another, and then filed forward somberly to subscribe what each thought was their ensuing death warrant. Fifty-six men from each of the original 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Nine of the signers were immigrants, two were brothers and two were cousins. One was an orphan. The average age of a signer was 45. Seventeen fought in the Revolution. The British captured five of them. Eleven signers had their homes and property destroyed.

Bio: 

Sally Buckingham has been involved as a research genealogist since 2008 and been a serious student of American History since 1996. She is a member of several linage societies National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), National Society Daughters of the American Colonists (DAC), Daughters of the War of 1812, and Colonial Dames XVII. She has served as an officer in each of these groups.

Seattle Genealogical Society Tip of the Week New Pope: New Case Studies

TIP OF THE WEEK –
NEW POPE: NEW CASE STUDIES
 The election of the first American Pope has spared interest in the family history of Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost. Recent articles provide insights exploring his Creole roots in New Orleans (New York Times subscription required) or the mystery of his European grandparents this latter provides a fascinating case study for dealing with brick walls. Navigate name changes, immigration and reinvention to build out the family tree of the new leader of the Catholic Church.

SATURDAY PRESENTATION TO ASK
“HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?” 
How do we know if the facts we’ve uncovered about our ancestors are correct? How can we be sure we’re not accidentally attaching someone else’s family to our tree? This presentation explores these common challenges and how the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) acts as a framework for producing reliable, accurate research. Whether you’re just starting out or refining long-standing research, this session will help get your work moving in the right direction—while avoiding common pitfalls and unnecessary frustration.

The Denny regrade was Seattle’s most audacious engineering change eliminating Denny Hill at the north end of downtown. By the end of the project, Seattleites had washed and scraped more than 11 million cubic yards of landscape, reducing the previously 240-foot-high mound to its present pancake topography.
