About this Event
LGBTQ Genealogy
June 29, 2024
11 am - 12:30 pm, PDT
Presented by Stewart Blandón Traiman
Live online via Zoom or members may view recording on our website.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer folk have always been a part of our history and family stories. We all have LGBTQ members of our family trees. The confirmed bachelor or spinster aunt in our trees may not have been single. Perhaps they did have partners but there is no legal documentation or family acknowledgement. This class will explore census, newspapers, obituaries, military records, photographs, phone books and archives for clues on our ancestor’s sexuality. We will also explore LGBTQ History and many individual stories giving context to the available records. Discovering our LGBTQ ancestor’s stories will enrich our entire family history.
The event will take place via Zoom. If you join, please sign in early to make sure you are able to see the program. We will send you instructions the night before, and a reminder shortly before the event, which will give you access. Our remote classes now have live closed captioning. When registering, use an email address you will be checking. Please note all times are Pacific Daylight Time.
