Program Description

Event Details

Whose house did your ancestor visit Saturday night? What did your 9-year-great grandmother receive for her birthday? Did your ancestor find himself in trouble with the law? Before social media and telephones, newspapers were how people learned about the happenings in the lives of their friends and neighbors. These articles and ads are a wealth of information for novice and veteran genealogists. Learn how to access various newspaper archives and what stories you can find.

Registrants will be emailed the zoom link.
