WEBINAR via Zoom
Jodi will take you on a journey into the fascinating world of family stories. Are they true, a little stretched, or completely made up? With a touch of Sherlock Holmes’ logic, creative research skills, and a willingness to explore irresistible rabbit holes, Jodi shows how to uncover the facts—or reveal the myths—behind family lore.
Jodi will share two of her own adventures in research: one that unravels the tale of a Bruce County jail break, and another that connects Boss Grey’s Castle near Tiverton with a Philadelphia marble works, the Kincardine Salt Works, and the life of a remarkable female artist. Many will also recognize Jodi from her “If These Walls Could Talk …” columns in the Grey/Bruce & Huron/Perth Boomers magazines or her three published local history books. With her passion for history and storytelling, this promises to be an engaging, eye-opening, and thoroughly enjoyable talk!
