Currently a Professor and Biology Department Chair at NSU's Halmos College of Arts and Sciences, she guides undergraduate biology majors and serves as the Honors College Liaison. Her research spans gene expression in yeast exposed to toxins, innovations in science education, genetics, genealogy, fish identification, survey techniques, ecology and behavior, and coral reef ecology and conservation. Since fall 2009, she has collaborated with Broward County schools and NSU to bring hands-on science education to school-age children.

Beyond Names and Dates: Filling in the Stories of Our Female Ancestors For most of recorded time, women didn't leave much of a paper trail, but they still had remarkable stories to tell. Although it may appear that they haven't left any documents behind, deeper research into underutilized records will often lead to a better understanding of the women in our family trees. In this talk, we'll explore a variety of records, and also look at local history, the law, politics, and the cataclysmic events that confronted them to help us bring their hidden stories to light.

 

 

Pam Vestal, a Portland-based genealogist at Generations Genealogy, specializes in Family History Research. Published in top genealogy journals, including the National Genealogical Society Magazine, she's a seasoned speaker at conferences nationwide. Formerly a professional writer, Pam's interest in genealogy was sparked by her daughter's curiosity about her husband's family. A member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, Pam emphasizes the value of diverse genealogical affiliations. Her work, evolving from a hobby, took a profound turn when she helped a woman heal from a family tragedy through ancestral discovery. Pam Vestal, a cherished GSBC member, remains a favorite speaker.
