The Dakota County Historical Society in Minnesota will host the free webinar, Virtual Genealogy: French-Canadian Family Connections, presented by Paula Stuart-Warren, Certified Genealogist®, FMGS, FUGA, on Thursday, October 28, at 7:00 p.m. Central time.
If you have an ancestor from a Great Lakes state or province, it’s likely you have found a French-Canadian connection. Your German, Native American, or British Isles ancestor of their sibling may have married into a French-Canadian family. Whichever is the case, the records are amazing; the names of parents are generally found. Learn about the general history of the people, the fantastic records created, the books and online resources, the repositories, and meet some new cousins.
Ms. Stuart-Warren will cover people, records, resources, and repositories in a way that will be sure to give your French-Canadian research a boost.
Registration is required. It takes an extra step or two more than the usual registration, but it works.
The program is free, but small donations are welcome and will allow the society to continue to present quality programs to the public.
