Lisa Vogele will be joining us on Zoom to present this talk.
Whether you're interested in planning a trip to visit the U.S. battlefields of your patriotic ancestors, walkiing the streets of an ancestral village, or meeting distant relatives, heritage travel offers a rich and rewarding experience.
Learn Lisa's top tips for researching, planning, and connecting on your personal journey. Find out how to avoid common pitfalls, what DNA tests reveal, and how they can be used for heritage travel when your paper trail ends.
Come hear inspirational stories from real-life heritage experiences!
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.
