Program Description

Event Details

Researching your female ancestors can be a difficult, yet rewarding, process. Women’s rights and positions in society varied by time and place, often making their records harder to trace (and how do we find those elusive maiden names?!). In this class, we will learn strategies and records to help you research the women of your family. 

There is no cost to participate in this virtual class. All registrants will receive an email with a Zoom link upon registration. 

Don't want to wait? Download the class handouts from our website, https://ppld.org/genealogy-ppld, where you can also learn more about PPLD's genealogy resources!
