All About That Place, Pacific Edition » Talks by Allison DePrey Singleton and Karen de Bruyne

Featuring ※ Karen de Bruyne | “Found Great Uncle Bill in India, where next?” ※ Allison DePrey Singleton | “Finding Family Locations with ACPL Genealogy Center”

Like the overall “All About That Place” series, in this Pacific Edition, I’m sometimes not sure what the theme will be until the program begins. Today’s program sprouted from a desire to share knowledge and blossomed into a remarkable discussion of the potential of research libraries.

During the first portion of our program,

of Not Just Any Family, a highly skilled UK-based genealogist, shared her resources and strategies for exploring the vast records of the British East India Company in pursuit of records for a particular Great Uncle Bill.

In the second half, Allison DePrey Singleton of the Allen County Indiana Public Library (ACPL) Genealogy Center shared the scale and scope of this extraordinary, world-class research gem. Excentricity, vision, and local support have made this possible in the second-largest city in the 17th most populous American state.

We were honored to have you both. Please see the notes and resources they’ve provided below.


Projectkin’s participation in the AATP24 series was designed to call attention to the role of place in our family stories. Internationally, the series is organized by the Society of Genealogists, the Society for One-Place Studies, the British Association for Local History, and Genealogy Stories and sponsored by dozens of companies and organizations.
