Digging Deeper Into Your Roots: Boots on the Ground

Today, thanks to technological advances and ever-expanding digital collections, much of that research can be done from home. Yet, there are times when nothing replaces “being there” to access records, explore ancestral towns, and uncover details unavailable online.
In this session, we’ll explore how to plan a genealogy research trip, what to pack, and some of the top destinations for family history road trips.
Let's hit the road - Genealogy adventures await!
