“Using Obituaries & City Directories in Genealogy Research" with Lynn Johnson

Obituaries and city directories can be key to answering some of your vexing genealogy questions. Even wedding notices and other random articles can be helpful. All of these resources can add details to help you learn more about your ancestor beyond the bare bones dates that we so diligently search out. Lynn will demonstrate the value of using these resources, cautionary information, and some information on sources.
