November Meeting

Susan Kaufman, Senior Manager
Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research
Houston Texas Public Library
will present a live online zoom seminar:

Unusual Source Records for Genealogical Research
– or, this is Some Cool Stuff!

Most of us use the common sources like census, land records, wills, probate, ship passengers lists and vital records when working on our genealogy.  However, there are many other source materials for family history research often not thought of, or out of the mainstream of research.  An overview of some of these really cool and unusual sources will be discussed.  At the very least, you will walk out saying…wow, that WAS some cool stuff.

Register to remotely attend using your own PC or other internet connected device
