WAGS February General Meeting
Featured Speaker: Lisa Lisson
|
| Find and Use Uncommon Resources in Your Genealogy Research* |
| 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm, Saturday, February 20, 2021 |
Genealogy researchers create their own brick walls in research projects by failing to look beyond the traditional genealogical records. Researchers must think "outside the box" and explore lesser known record sets and records unique to an ancestor's community to start breaking down those genealogical brick walls. This lecture will discuss uncommon genealogy resources and where to find them.
WAGS members will receive an invitation with meeting details in February. If you are not a WAGS member, you are welcome to attend. Send an email with to program@wagswhittier.org and an invitation will be sent to you.
* This presentation will be preceded by a brief brief business meeting.
