Funeral home records are often overlooked or forgotten when looking for genealogical information. However, funeral home files can reveal important clues that can help build your extended family tree and find your ancestor's friends, loved ones and neighbors. Learn about where to find funeral home collections, what they may contain, and how you can learn more about your family's past.

Celebrate Family History Month with the Dallas Public Library, Dallas Genealogical Society and the Genealogy Network of Texas (GNT), a state-wide initiative to connect libraries/genealogical societies and provide educational and research opportunities! Seven FREE programs will be live streamed from genealogy speakers in Texas and throughout the U.S.

Join our own Patti Huff Smith, Director of Marketing at Dallas Genealogical Society as she puts on an all day DNA Seminar for the Bell County Genealogical Society titled "Between the Lines: What Your Ancestors Didn't Tell You! (Making the MOST of your DNA Results)."

Recipes hold history—histories of our family, the lands they come from, and of survival. Collecting family recipes preserves our family history and give context to the lives our families lived, helping us create richer histories beyond your basic genealogy research.
