Reminder: FHIG Meets Tuesday, 7/28/15 7:00pm (Coffee at 6:30pm)
"Don't Forget the Ladies . . . The Women
in Your Past."
Tuesday, July 28
While male ancestors are almost always easier to research, females CAN be identified with a variety of different approaches. The information found about these important relatives can greatly enhance one’s family history story.
At the FHIG meeting on Tuesday, July 28, Nancy Nelson and Carol Sheaffer will focus on research tips and records that can be especially useful in identifying females and their family of origin.
As you will see from their bios below, these two ladies bring a wealth of first hand experience to this topic. Please join us for an especially informative evening!
