Chasing Women: Finding Your Female Ancestors
Webinar: Presented by
Leland K. Meitzler
Locating the
names of our female ancestors can be difficult-principally, because their names
changed upon marrying. Women historically have not produced as many records as
their husbands, since women’s suffrage largely did not exist until the
twentieth century. This adds to the difficulty of finding their names, let
alone the details of their lives. There are two major search areas that we deal
with in locating women’s names, the first being the search for their maiden
names, and secondly, the search for their married names. One search can be as
hard as the other, and you my find you are doing both types of searches on the
same women. Join nationally known, speaker, author, and publisher. Leland K.
Meitzler as he gives details on a wide variety of sources, starting with the
obvious, and working its way through sources that you may not have thought of
using previously.
