January 4 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Register for the Virtual Meeting HERE
Did you know your ancestors have a FAN club? Everyone has a circle of Family, Friends, Associates and Neighbors who can help fill in information that might be missing for the ancestors you have researched. Professional genealogist Lisa Dougherty will help you in the steps to identify your ancestors’ FAN club, and use that information to fill in your family tree!
