SUMMARY:Apr 2023 Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our speaker this month is chapter member Pat Kruger who will highlight alternative approaches to tackle research challenges. We all have research challenges – stumbling blocks\, dead ends\, brick walls\, whatever you call them.  If you don’t\, you just haven’t been doing research long enough. If you are out of ideas and stuck\, this session will discuss ways to approach brick wall research. It will include suggestions for breaking through those walls\, ideas to focus your research strategy and solutions for those family puzzles.  \nPat will highlight alternative approaches to tackle research challenges\, building on the descriptions and links in the most recent “Sites and Bytes” columns of our Courier newsletters. If you haven’t read “Sites and Bytes” recently\, we advise you to do so. \nPat has been a member of CCSCGS since the early 1990s (with a three year break back in Chicago). Since her return to Charleston in 2000\, she has written Courier newsletter columns\, coordinated programs and served as Chapter President. After retirement\, she spent five years at the South Carolina Historical Society in her “Hobby Job” working in their library. \nWe will meet in-person\, but we also plan to make the meeting available via Zoom. Guests are always welcome – either in person or via Zoom.  Please CONTACT US if you are not yet a chapter member and want to participate via Zoom.

SUMMARY:September 2021 Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to DNA Clustering\, presented by chapter member Nina Bruhns \nDo you have a brick wall you can’t get past? Or perhaps you are searching for an unknown parent or grandparent due to adoption or an NPE? Using DNA is an awesome way to help you uncover new information that can aid in your quest to fill in those gaps and unknown ancestors. One of the very best tools available to sort out all those zillions of DNA matches is known as clustering. With clustering you can quickly and easily identify groups of matches who all share a common ancestral couple\, and sometimes even a single ancestor\, thus focusing your search to the matches that are most relevant. It is also the first step to take when starting a DNA chromosome mapping project. Join Nina’s presentation to learn about this super useful technique! \nPlease CONTACT US if would like to participate in this Zoom meeting but are not yet a Chapter member.

SUMMARY:May 2021 Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Larry Koger\, author of “Black Slaveowners: Free Black Slave Masters in South Carolina\, 1790-1860” will be our speaker for the May Chapter meeting. We can expect his presentation “Black Masters: The Misunderstood Slaveowners” to be quite informative. Please CONTACT US if would like to participate in this Zoom meeting but are not yet a Chapter member. \nAfro-American slaveowners are misunderstood masters by the lay audience and even among many scholars.  Yet they existed in small to modest numbers throughout the south and parts of the north.  Many of these individuals purchased family members with the hope of protecting them from the stigma of chattel slavery and attempted to emancipate them.  In South Carolina\, many black masters were slaveowners for profit.  They exploited the labor of their human chattel to work on their plantations\, farms\, and commercial businesses just like their white counterparts.  Some of these individuals knew the yoke of bondage as they were enslaved but chose to enslave their own race.  A few actually immigrated from West Africa as free people of color and transported African slaves into South Carolina to work their newly acquired plantations.  The history of slavery in antebellum South Carolina is neither black nor white.  It is written in many shades of grey where Afro-Americans played a small\, yet significant role in the peculiar institution.

SUMMARY:September 2020 Chapter Meetings
DESCRIPTION:“Slave Traders in the Family: Discovering my Roots” – a Zoom presentation by Chapter member Margaret Seidler. Please contact us if you would like to participate.  \nFor 65 years\, Margaret has believed her descendants were poor German immigrants living in Charleston’s Eastside from the 1850s.  Then\, she discovers much deeper Charleston roots\, three additional generations\, and a VERY different narrative. In truth\, her family plays a large role in the slave trade business spanning more than 90 years. Like never before\, Margaret’s family research shines a bright light on Charleston’s domestic slave trade business. Her 4th great-grandfather\, William Payne\, makes an entire career on Broad Street\, brokering the sale of local enslaved people. Slave trading was big business both in her family and across all of Charleston. Margaret has two hopes as she reveals this groundbreaking research: first\, telling a more complete history of Charleston’s business system and\, second\, offering a portal for African Americans to trace their enslaved ancestors from more than 1100 newspaper ads.
