Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society and the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center of the Davenport Public Library invites you to their monthly meeting.
For our December presentation, we will learn about "Using Periodicals to Find Your Ancestors" offered through Legacy Family Tree Webinars. This presentation is presented by Gena Philibert-Ortega, is an author, researcher, and instructor whose focus is genealogy, social and women’s history. . The description from the Legacy Family Tree website states, "Periodicals can fill in the pieces between the birth and death of your ancestor. Whether the information is biographical, a transcription, or reporting on an event, periodicals provide rich detail about your ancestor's life. In this lecture we will discuss the types of periodicals that exist and what indexes (JSTOR, PERSI and others) to use to find articles." Join us and see what you can learn periodicals about ancestors in your family.
This program is scheduled to be held in person and virtually. If you would prefer to attend virtually, please follow this link to attend the event.
