SUMMARY:DPL: Using Ephemera in Family History Research
DESCRIPTION:In-person & Virtual \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEphemera is a fancy word for items that were intended to have a temporary nature\, often hand-written and disposable\, that have persisted through the years.

Utilizing ephemera can help deepen our family histories\, provide visual and/or other context to a location or culture\, and make tangible memories we might not have lived ourselves. See real-life examples of how ephemera helped bring a family history story back to life. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Cedar Hill Genealogy Society Monthly Program
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Emily Coffman Richardson \n\n\n\nTopic: Using Documentation – Identifying Documentation as found in Genealogical Records with an Eye on Proof and Citations \n\n\n\nThis program is for the beginner and the seasoned genealogist alike.

This will help us understand what needs to be documented and why documentation is a critical skill for all genealogists. \n\n\n\nDownload Handout \n\n\n\nOur Meeting begins at 7:00pm but please join us on Zoom at 6:30 PM for socializing. Admission is free and guests are always welcome. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Meeting
