The History of Genealogy: From Biblical Begetting, to Royalty, to Donald Lines Jacobus, to Online Ancestors. A GSBC Program. (Online) Online
Join us before the program for a GSBC General Meeting beginning at 1:30pm ET, where a prize drawing will be held for GSBC members only.
The presentation will begin at 2:00pm ET.
The history of genealogy, finding and recording ancestors has a very long history. It is a field that started in the Middle Ages, and is still evolving today. Find out how it started in the context of corruption, lies and ambition, but transformed into a field with high standards, accuracy and advanced tools - and controversy.
Presented by Mark Fearer.
