DPL: Homespun and Calico: Researching the Lives of Our Foremothers

November 5, 2025 @ 2:00 pm 3:00 pm

Virtual and In-person

Renowned genealogist Peggy Clemens Lauritzen, AG, FOGS, shines a light on the women who make up half of every pedigree chart, yet often leave behind only faint traces in the historical record. This lecture explores frequently overlooked sources and creative research strategies that can reveal the lives of our foremothers, illustrated with compelling case studies that bring their stories out of the shadows and into the heart of family history.

This program is brought to you in part by the Friends of the Dallas Public Library and General Levi Casey Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution.
