The Seedbed of America: Eastern Shore History and RecordsThe records of the Eastern Shore of Virginia and Maryland, the oldest continuous records in British speaking America, offer much to genealogists as many waves of westward migrations began here, eventually reaching the Pacific coast of America. Learn the history of the area and its many record types. Secondary sources and transcriptions will be included in the discussion. Many researchers will discover that they have Eastern Shore antecedents! Do you?

G. Ray Thompson, PhD
    Dr. G. Ray Thompson co-founded Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture at Salisbury University in 1982, and he served as its co-director for over 20 years.  The Nabb Center is a hands-on laboratory in which history students are taught how to read, interpret, and write narrations based on original documents.  It also houses a collection of Delmarva primary and secondary source materials valuable for genealogical research.
   Dr. Thompson retired from Salisbury University in Maryland in 2016 as a distinguished professor of history after a 44 year career. He has served the historical and genealogical communities in many leadership positions: past president of the Lower Delmarva Genealogical Society; president for 17 years of the Wicomico County chapter of the Maryland Historical Trust; and a member of the Governor’s Advisory Board for National Historic Publication and Records.  
   Ray has been awarded the highest service award from Preservation Maryland, and the Life Service Award from the Lower Eastern Shore Heritage Council.
