Beyond Your Immediate Family: How Other Family Members and Friends Can Inform the Lives of Your Direct Ancestors

The C-RS virtual “LET'S TALK RUSYN GENEALOGY” Chat and Learn Series presents

Beyond Your Immediate Family: How Other Family Members and Friends Can Inform the Lives of Your Direct Ancestors

There is more to family research than your direct line. Join us as we discuss collateral research; looking beyond your immediate ancestors to find out about the rest of their family and friends. We will see how exploring those listed in birth announcements, obituaries, anniversary celebrations, and articles about family reunions, among other things, can lead you to family connections you never knew existed and expand your knowledge of your direct ancestors.

Time : 7:30-9PM Eastern Time via zoom
