More than a name and a few dates, “historical context genealogy” is how you can fill in the many interesting details of your families plus find new names, dates, and photographs. Think of it as Facebook or People Magazine about your family. Or think of it as “Ok I have my dates from the internet. But where do I find more information about my family?” Internet genealogy has become a favorite way to find birth, marriage, and death dates, but there is so much more you can find. We will give examples using our 15 favorite sources for new information or to document family legends. Discover new family lines, great stories, and interesting family relationships. 

This is a joint program with the North Suburban Genealogical Society. Please join us virtually at 1pm for a short meeting prior to the presentation. All are welcome.

This program will not be recorded.
