Program Description

Event Details

Researching ancestors in the United States before 1850 can be a challenge. Census records contain far fewer names, vital records are less standardized, and time has taken its toll on documents, photographs, and grave markers. Join us to learn strategies, records, and tips to help you dive deeper into your genealogical research.

There's no cost to participate; all registrants will receive a Zoom link for this virtual program (via email) in advance.
