Meeting of the Genealogical Society of Rockland County. We'll be watching to a live Zoom presentation from genealogist Lisa Alzo "Make Those Skeletons Dance."
How well do you really know your ancestors? Most of us want to believe our ancestors were hard-working, noble, or “salt-of-the-earth” types. We want to like them, and even brag about them. However, the reality is that if we go back far enough, we all can dig up a few proverbial “skeletons in the closet.” The horse thief, the philanderer, the murderer! Oh my! Genealogy is one of the most unpredictable activities you’ll undertake, and when you start digging into your family’s past, “You never know what you're gonna get.” If you suspect a few black sheep lurking in your family tree, this session will show you how to hunt them down, bust through the speculation, and tell the real story.
Presented by Lisa A. Alzo, M.F.A. Lisa is a freelance writer, instructor, and internationally recognized lecturer, specializing in Eastern European research and writing your family history.
