Virtual Sunday: Ancestoring: Understanding Records, Family, and Ourselves
Sunday, March 22
1:00 pm to 2:00 pm
Zoom Virtual Event
Join us for Virtual Sunday to meet Darcie Hind Posz, author of Ancestoring: Understanding Records, Family, and Ourselves.
In Ancestoring, Darcie invites genealogists and family historians to look more deeply at the records we use—and at ourselves as researchers. Understanding Records affirms the importance of placing records in their historical context. Understanding Family encourages us to ask “why,” and to remain objective and nonjudgmental as we uncover our ancestors’ decisions and actions. Understanding Ourselves challenges us to recognize our own assumptions and biases when analyzing records and interpreting our ancestors’ lives.
This Virtual Sunday program offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from the author and explore how a more reflective and contextual approach can strengthen both our research and our writing.
Darcie Hind Posz is an author, genealogist, and researcher. She has been a board-certified genealogist since 2013 and was elected a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists in 2023. A widely published genealogical writer, her work has appeared in several scholarly quarterlies, and her full bibliography is available at darciehindposz.com.

What is a genealogist to do with a research subject, born before the era of vital records, who left a lifetime of documents indicating a year of birth that varied by as much as 15 years? In this case study of an African American woman from South Carolina born in the late 19th Century, the Genealogy Standards for evidence correlation and resolving evidence inconsistencies led to one likely date of birth. Chronological tables and visual charts generated by AI helped identify patterns across sources. Her sibling’s birth dates and probable dates of conception helped narrow down a possible date of birth.
Carolyn Ladd, CG®, AG® holds a Certified Genealogist® credential from the Board for Certification of Genealogists® and serves on the Board of Trustees for BCG. She is also an accredited genealogist professional in African American genealogy from the International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogists (ICAPGen™). She is passionate about identifying ancestors, learning their stories, and preserving them for future generations.
