Program Description

Event Details

This beginning-level class series is for anyone interested in tracing their family history. Learn to use essential records that document the lives of your ancestors. In four classes, we will cover the following foundational record types: U.S. Census Records, Vital Records, Estate Records, and Land Records. Each class will include a presentation, followed by time to apply what you learn in your own research. Register for one class or all four! 

Class 2: Vital Records – These are the official documents that record key life events: births, marriages, and deaths. In this session, we'll examine how to access and interpret these records. We will discuss how to request copies, understand their variations, and use these them to connect generations. Special attention will be given to birth certificates, marriage licenses, and death certificates.
