“The One Place Study as a Research Tool”

by Denise Cross, MSLIS, CG®

Tuesday, June 17, 2025, 8:00 p.m. (EDT)


A one-place study explores an ancestral place in depth by examining the history, environment, and people of a place over time. Learn practical strategies for conducting your own one-place study and how it helps you meet genealogy standards. See how the assembled information can add rich context to your ancestors' lives, fill gaps where records are lacking, and uncover forgotten connections within a community.

 

Denise Cross, MSLIS, CG, is a community college librarian who enjoys research, especially digging deep for an elusive answer. Researching her family since the 1990s, she began formalized education in genealogy with the Boston University Certificate Program in Genealogical Research in 2015. The course opened up the world of methodology to extract indirect evidence from records. Her focus is writing, and she has published several articles since 2016. She is a winner of the 2020 AGS Scholar Award and was granted the Certified Genealogist credential the same year.
