About our speaker:
November 2007, saw Sue Brandes Tolbert
celebrate her 37th wedding anniversary with her husband Rick.
Together they have raised a daughter and three sons and have four beautiful
grandsons and a granddaughter ranging in age from 14 years to just over a year
old.
B
orn
in Oklahoma, her interest in her own family’s history and it’s participation in
the history of the area was encouraged by her grandmother as a young girl. As
she grew up, two teachers, an English teacher who was an avid genealogist, and a
history teacher who loved Oklahoma history, firmly planted the interest in both
subjects in her heart.
For the past eleven years Sue has taught
genealogy classes for beginner through advanced students. She has also provided
many presentations to genealogical and historical societies and cemetery
preservation groups, as well as civic organizations. A member of the Muskogee
County Genealogical Society, Oklahoma Historical Society, National Genealogical
Society, Association of Gravestone Studies, Eastern Oklahoma Cemetery
Preservation Organization and the Oklahoma Cemetery Preservation Association
illustrates her commitment to history. She is also a proud and active member of
the Daughters of the American Revolution and the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, continuing her dedication.
In addition to attending numerous local
and state conferences she has also attended National Genealogical Society and
Federation of Genealogical Societies Conferences. She has completed courses by
the University of Toronto’s Institute of Genealogical Studies and survived the
Intermediate Genealogy and Advanced Methodology and Evidence Analysis courses at
Samford University’s Institute of Genealogical and Historical Research.
As a Genealogy Reference Specialist in the
Local History and Genealogy Department of the Muskogee Public Library, she
assisted researchers primarily interested in Creek and Cherokee lineage for
close to a decade. As the Executive Director of the Three Rivers Museum, a local
history museum and archives in Muskogee, she continues in her quest to make
genealogy and history easily accessible to all.
