Tim Ward will be teaching this class. This will be a shallow and wide introduction into genealogy. The goal is to give attendees with little or no knowledge of genealogy an overview and information to help them get started researching and recording their family history along with sources to learn more about doing genealogy. There will be approximately 90 minutes lecture and 30 minutes for questions and answers with a multi-page handout.
This is a free presentation.
Alexander Tolksdorf is a genealogist and speaker, specializing in German, Dutch, and Eastern European research. He began his personal journey in high school, inspired by a trip to Ellis Island and through a correspondence with his great uncle in Germany, who was also an active family historian. His ancestors can be found in Germany, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, Poland and Russia. Alex believes that standard records only tell part of the story, with the many additional forms of documentation providing color and texture to a family history.
