Researching Your Home and the People Who Lived There

2024-08-17 13:00:00 2024-08-17 14:00:00 America/Chicago Researching Your Home and the People Who Lived There Researching a property, be it an old home, a new business, or a section of pastureland, can do more than tell us the history of a space. It can also build a human connection to the people who came before us and the times in which they lived. This talk shares creative ways to study document and assemble relevant narratives from maps, deeds, newspapers, and often unsought or unknown resources. This is ideal for those new to seeking out family and community stories, and helpful for those stymied by a dead end. Presented by Diana Staresinic in conjunction with Kansas Humanities. Sponsored by the Wichita Genealogical Society. Advanced Learning Library - Conference Room AB
