We'll watch Lecture 15: Extending Your Family Tree Overseas

Many of our class participants arrive early to get some research done in the Heritage Center, which opens at 12 noon on Sundays.

Extending Your Family Tree Overseas: Conclude the course with a peek at how to research records outside of the United States.  Focusing on his experiences in Europe, Dr. Colletta reveals what essential facts you need to know about your ancestors, and how to overcome six major challenges to accessing and using historical materials in foreign countries.
