Title: Working The Censuses to Make The Most of Details

Description: US Censuses were taken every 10 years (or 5 years in some states). This every 10 year snapshot holds many clues to your ancestor's lives, beyond just names & locations.

From there, we will discuss how to use what you have learned from censuses to build details of your ancestor's life from other resources. Handouts will be provided to help you in your research. The class is geared toward beginners but intermediate researches are bound to pick up some tips. This class is offered In-Person only.
