Farming, Factories, and The Frontier: Midwest Genealogy Basics
Thursday, September 28, 2023
Join us for a Zoom presentation on the Midwest by Eleanor Brinsko of Carlon Genealogical Services. Midwesterners make up the heart of America; we live and work among the farmlands, the Great North Woods, and factories and industries. It’s time to take a look at the people who have called this place home by looking at the history of the region and its people and where to find the documents to fill out our ancestors’ stories. Registration is required.
Eleanor Brinsko is a professional genealogist who specializes in Scandinavian-American genealogy by looking at genealogical and social trends on both sides of the Atlantic. She taught a graduate-level genealogy course for the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s iSchool and has contributed to “Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s Finding Your Roots” on PBS.
