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. 

Registration is NOT required; however, you may register to receive a reminder email with a Zoom link. The Zoom link is also included on the class page; look for the blue 'Genealogy Basics Zoom Link' button! 

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! 

There is no cost to participate in this virtual class.
