June Webinar
It all started when Ron inherited a 20-gallon Tupperware container of snapshots from his parents. Luckily, some had names and dates written on them. Thus began his journey of researching and documenting two branches of his Paternal Family Tree – drawing him back to 1600.
Besides building the family tree, he also documented key findings in a 300-page family history book – distributing 85 copies of both to his immediate family. At present, he is writing a novel based on the exploits of his great (X7) grandmother…
Join in the dialogue with Ron as we discuss the ins and outs, ups and downs of Family Tree research.
Date: Monday, June 13 at 7:00 pm E.D.T.
