Steve Szabados kicks off our 'Write it Down!' genealogy author series. If we do not preserve the memories and stories of our ancestors for future generations, who will?

Were your ancestors royalty or members of the working class? Were they rich or barely surviving? Whoever they were, we need to preserve their memory. Genealogist and author Steve Szabados will discuss how to transform your research efforts into a written family history. Learn a method to easily save your information and tips to help bring your ancestors back to life. Prize drawings for Szabados' book will be held at the end of the event.  

This program is available in a Zoom webinar format. A link and handout will be sent a day before the event. A reminder will be sent an hour before the event.
