Ephemera 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. This could include postcards, ticket stubs, and other items you might find in a scrapbook. 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.

2024-10-10 18:30 - 20:30
Topic: Family Naming Customs

Speaker: Bernard Meisner

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

Names are a valuable source of information. They can indicate gender, marital status, birthplace, nationality, ethnicity, religion, and position within a family or even within a society. However, naming practices vary enormously across the globe. If you know your ancestors followed a particular naming custom, you can use it to provide clues to the names of earlier generations. Naming customs can also be used to differentiate between two sets of same-name parents having children in the same town, or to the likelihood of a “missing” child in a family.
