Finding Female Ancestors and That Elusive Maiden Name with Kristin Wenger

Women represent half of our ancestors; yet, their identities and life stories often prove much more difficult to find than those of men. In this engaging and interactive session, we’ll learn why females can be challenging to research and walk through a step-by-step plan to uncover more information about the mysterious ladies in your family tree. Full of interesting record examples, photographs, and methodology demonstration, this presentation will equip and inspire you to find the stories of your female ancestors!

This event will only be virtual. A Zoom link and a handout will be emailed to all registrants prior to the program.

Registration is now open on the Wheaton Public Library's events calendar:
