Topic:  The Real Life of Vital Records

Speaker:  Diane MacLean Boumenot

Understanding when, where and why vital records were created, and the changes in those practices over the years, can help us find them today. What additional abstracts have been created for the southern New England states? What forms of these records are available online? What kind of records might take the place of a vital record? Improve your family history research today by maximizing your ability to locate the records that tie generations together.

Please register by 4:00 pm Friday, May 14.
