The Secret Lives of Women: Researching Female Ancestors Using the Sources They Left Behind
How do you research the women in your family? In some of the same ways you research men but you also have to consider what documents and items were left behind by women. In honor of Women’s History Month, the Georgia Heritage Room will host this free Legacy Family Tree Webinar with genealogist and women’s history scholar, Ms. Gena Philibert-Ortega. This lecture will go over the specific heirlooms women left behind including signature quilts, community cookbooks, journals and diaries. The Webinar will take place in the computer lab on the third floor of the Augusta Public Library at 823 Telfair Street. As space is limited please call 706-826-1511 to register.
