WAGS General Meeting

Speaker:  Sunny Jane Morton
Topic:  Introduction to Church Records: 
Why We Care Where Grandma Went to Church
 
Sorensen Library Meeting Room
6934 Broadway Ave, Whittier CA 90606

U.S. church records of many denominations can reveal ancestors’ vital events, family relationships, overseas birthplaces and other residences and religious lives. From the co-author of the acclaimed book How to Find Your Family History in U.S. Church Records, learn what these records may look like, how to identify an ancestral church, locate extant records and access them.
 
The virtual doors will open between noon and 12:30 p.m. and those of you who join online can chat with one another on Zoom before the meeting begins at 1:00 p.m.
