Program:  Practical Preservati on of your Genealogical Research and Family Heirlooms

Description:  Six years ago, J ohn was the insurance consultant to the Waldo Canyon Wildfire recovery team . He witnessed first-hand the loss of many peoples’ photos, heirlooms, and research materials which were not insured nor backed up. Among the many les sons of this catastrophe, John advocates more rigorous steps to preserve th e family treasures to help you minimize the loss of these materials. John w ill discuss both the importance and steps to better protect yourself for th is potential loss potential as well as helping you to transfer these items to the next generation. 

< strong>Speaker: John E. Putnam is a native of Western Massachusett s where he grew up on a farm; attended public schools, and attended the Uni versity of Massachusetts Amherst where he earned his BA in Government/Polit ical Science. While at college, he debated four years and married his debat e partner, Sue, after his graduation. He earned a MA in Political Science a t the University of Colorado

Jo hn’s interest in genealogy started at a very young age when his two grandmo thers would tell stories about the family. He also attended both Putnam and Clark family reunions. As a twelfth generation New Englander, there were m any stories to be told. His Putnam ancestors lived in Salem/Danvers, MA whe re they were very involved in the Salem Witchcraft incident. A great uncle was a major general in the Revolution so he got an early indoctrination in the exploits of these historical Putnams. His Clark ancestors descend from two Mayflower Pilgrims although this history was determined later in his li fe. The Clark stories revolved around the hardships of farming in Western M assachusetts during the nineteenth century. Both his parents were active in their local historical society and frequently added to John’s interest in Western Masssachusetts’ local history.

John is the past President of the Pikes Peak Genealogical Society a nd serves as their delegate to the Colorado Council of Genealogical Societi es. In December 2011, he wrote a paper telling about his Teaching Grannies for a local genealogy course taken at Pikes Peak Community College. In June 2012, he presented a paper at the Pikes Peak Regional Historical Symposium on Historical Floods in the Pikes Peak Region.
