Cedar Hill Genealogy Society Monthly Program

October 9, 2025 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Speaker: Emily Coffman Richardson, Ed.D. (Remote  Speaker) 

Topic: Resources for Women – Are You Using All of Them?

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

Researching the women in your ancestry tree can be challenging. They did not always leave the same type of paper trail since they often did not have the same legal rights. There are different strategies that must be used as compared to the research we do with their male counterparts. Cluster and collateral research, historical context, and family centered activities and groups need to be part of the research model. This presentation will offer you a variety of ideas.
