What's In A Name?
Featured Speaker: Rick Frohling
|
This presentation will focus on how aspects of names can help us to learn more about our ancestors and might even help us to break through some brick walls.
- Every name has at least one story behind it - do you know the stories behind your ancestors' names? The stories behind your own name? What clues to your family history are embedded in the names of your ancestors? Your living relatives?
- Many of our ancestors were known by more than one name during their lifetime. How can we track down these names and use them to make sure we are finding out all we can about our family member?
Find out more about how a new look at names might unlock clues to your family history.
WAGS members will receive an invitation with meeting details in June. 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 business meeting.
