Reconstructing Communities Using Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, Census Records, and City Directories

March 12, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Recreating neighborhoods can provide rich and insightful details about an ancestor’s life and surroundings. Join us as Ari Wilkins – genealogist, teacher, researcher and specialist in African American research – explains how to use these often overlooked collections of historical information to build a more complete picture of your ancestor’s life.

Join the Mesquite Historical and Genealogical Society on Thursday, March 12th at 6:30 in the Mesquite Main Library to learn how to use these tools. The public is invited and welcome. You do not have to be a member to attend. Come early for visiting and refreshments.
