SKILL BUILDING CLASS & SPEAKER:
Kathleen Carter
"How to Use WikiTree"
WikiTree is a free genealogy website that allows users to research and to contribute to their own family trees while building and collaborating on a singular worldwide family tree within the same system. It is the most accurate and trusted global tree because they carefully evaluate sources and incorporated DNA. Kathleen will teach us how to use WikiTree. Kathleen Carter has been a professional genealogist since 2017, specializing in oil & gas mineral rights, finding heirs, and locating birth parents for adoptees. She also presents on genealogy topics, most frequently about DNA. She recently presented a DNA series for the Arizona Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), and presented “How to Start a Successful Forensic Genealogy Business" at a national conference in May 2023. She is on the Arizona DAR’s DNA Committee, on the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy Committee, and is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists.

MAIN PROGRAM & SPEAKER:
Pamela Vittorio
"Waterways, Roadways, Railways: The Transportation Revolution in the 19th Century"
The nineteenth century was an era of innovation in transportation, industry, and technology-- all of which affected the daily lives of our ancestors from the time they booked transatlantic passage until the moment they arrived at their final destination. Find out how transportation routes impacted the choices our ancestors made as they migrated across the states, and where to find transportation records beyond the port of entry. Pamela Vittorio is a professional genealogist, historian, and part-time Associate Professor in the department of English Language Studies at the New School in Manhattan. Pamela obtained a certificate in genealogical research from Boston University, and PLCGS (Canadian Studies, Librarianship) from the International Institute of Genealogical Studies, (Toronto). She has taught Transportation Nation with the Applied Genealogy Institute (AppGen) and is coordinator of the 2025 SLIG (Spring) course, A Century of Change: The Emigrant-Immigrant-Migrant Experience, 1825–1925. She mentors GenProof and NGS Advanced Genealogy courses. Among her research interests are artifacts, DNA, maps, land records, military history, migration and transportation, socio-linguistics, and people with African American, Canadian, English, French, German, Irish, Italian, Jewish, or Scottish ancestry—many of whom lived along or worked on North American Canals.
