Sat., June 29: “LGBTQ Genealogy” with Stewart Traiman. We close out Pride Month with a live webinar about identifying Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer folk in our family trees. Discovering their stories enriches our family history. The confirmed bachelor or spinster aunt in our trees may not have been single. Perhaps they did have partners but there is no legal documentation or family acknowledgement. This class will explore census, newspapers, obituaries, military records, photographs, phone books and archives for clues on our ancestor’s sexuality. We will also explore LGBTQ History and many individual stories giving context to the available records. Register HERE.
