Female Ancestors are of great importance as they are the keepers of family traditions, heirlooms, photographs, memories, stories and records. Finding and identifying them through a variety of source records may lead to a greatly enhanced family history. We will demonstrate some of the traditional, as well as unusual places where we find evidence of our female ancestors. Join us at this afternoon workshop in celebration of Women’s History Month this March.
