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 is no cost to participate in this virtual class; all registrants will receive an email reminder including a Zoom link and handouts a few days before the class.
