ZOOM Genealogy Club - Saturday, January 21, 2023

 

Ari Wilkins

The presentation will take place at 1:30 pm (EST). 

Ari Wilkins of Dallas, Texas, will be doing a presentation on Scaling the 1870 Brick Wall in African American Research.

For many, researching before 1870 is a hurdle in African American research.  Learn about sources and strategies to trace ancestors back into the Antebellum Era.

Ari is a graduate of Louisiana State University and works at the Dallas Public Library.  She speaks nationally on a variety of genealogy topics. Godfrey Library Director Carol Ansel was fortunate to hear her in person at the National Genealogical Society conference in Sacramento last year, and she knows you'll enjoy this presentation.
