Do you want to find out about your family’s history but don’t know where to start? In this presentation, you’ll discover the basics of genealogy research so you can confidently start your own family history project. Presenter Jill Fuller will walk you through the research process, demonstrating how to set a research goal, locate records, analyze evidence, and share your findings.
