Cedar Hill Genealogy Society Monthly Program

May 8, 2025 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Speaker: Patti Gillespie

Topic: Birth to Death and In-Between: Finding, Using, and Integrating Religious Records in the US

Location: New Library: 450 Pioneer Trail in Cedar Hill (lower-level event room)

So much information and so little time! Religious records are another document group that sometimes seems complicated to find and use.

In this presentation, Patti will give us:

  • an overview with specific examples
  • why we want to look for religious records
  • what sorts of records might be found
  • who might be included in them
  • where to look for these documents

This presentation will simplify your religious records search experience.

This event is made possible through our partnership with the Traphene Hickman Library. The program begins at 7:00pm and socializing starts at 6:30 PM for free genealogy help, and snacks. Admission is free and guests are always welcome. Learn More
