Research: Female Ancestors

Prior to the twentieth century, it is typically difficult to locate and trace a woman. Most historical records have been created for and/or about men. If you’ve hit a brick wall in the quest to find information about your female ancestors, this course covers strategies and key sources to assist you with your research, and will guide you in the process of writing “her” story.

Four ''Live Online Meetings'' will be offered during this course.

This course does not qualify as a Certificate course in the Certificate in Genealogical Studies program. It will not have assignments to submit or an exam to complete.

Although this course is indicated as 6 week, you will have access to the instructor only during the first four weeks. The materials will be available to you for an additional two weeks.
