Finding Unindexed Records on FamilySearch by Nancy Trimble
Distorted Descent by Dr. Darryl Leroux
The monthly meeting will begin with a mini-presentation from Nancy Trimble on finding unindexed records on FamilySearch.
After the mini-presentation, Dr. Daryl Leroux, an expert on French-Canadian genealogy, will share findings from his 2019 book, Distorted Descent: White Claims to Indigenous Identity, which examines why increasing numbers of white French Canadians are identifying as Indigenous.
Registration is required.
