Family stories can dramatically enhance your genealogical research. In this program with Dallas Public Library’s own Ari Wilkins, learn how memories passed down through generations can help uncover names, dates, and places, while also revealing the reasons behind migrations, the stories behind marriages, and the personalities of those who came before us. Family stories and personal recollections often preserve details that traditional records leave out, making them a powerful tool for anyone exploring their roots.
