Beyond Names and Dates: Filling in the Stories of Our Female Ancestors

Join us on March 12 at 7 pm with Pam Vestal for Beyond Names and Dates: Filling in the Stories of Our Female Ancestors.

For most of recorded time, women didn’t leave much of a paper trail, but they still had remarkable stories to tell. Although it may appear that they haven’t left many documents behind, deeper research into underutilized records will often lead to a better understanding of the women in our family trees. In this talk, we’ll explore a variety of records, and also look at local history, the law, politics, and the cataclysmic events that confronted them to help us bring their hidden stories to light.
