• LGBTQ Genealogy - Find ancestors who may have been Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans or queer folk. They have always been part of history and family stories. The confirmed bachelor or spinster aunt in family trees may not have been single. Perhaps they may have had a partner with no legal documentation or family acknowledgement. Clues can be found in censuses, newspapers, obituaries, military records, photographs, phone books, and archives. We will also explore LGBTQ history and the many individual stories giving context to the available records -
• Study group: Mastering Genealogical Documentation Chapters 7-9.
• Katie Gertz will be the guest speaker this month. Her presentation will be focused on the Works Project/Progress Administration (WPA) and the associated records created by the program. Many of our ancestors that lived during the Great Depression in the USA may have worked for the WPA.
• Bonnie Bossert - DNA Kindergarten: Interpreting Shared Matches (Part 4)
