Attend at the Oklahoma History Center or via Webinar
Our speaker for the evening, Karen Fortin is a professional genealogist, member of Association of Professional Genealogists and Genealogical Speakers Guild. Karen received a Bachelor's Degree in History and a Master's Degree in Library and Information Science from the University of South Florida. She worked at the Barbara S. Ponce Public Library in Pinellas Park, FL for 30 years before deciding to focus on genealogical research.
We all have interesting relatives and ancestors whose lives tell the stories of our family’s past. This presentation takes a step-by-step approach to guide you through the process of planning and writing these stories in brief, informal biographical sketches that you can share with family and friends.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
Meetings start at 6:00 pm in the Musser Learning Lab in the Research Library at the Oklahoma History Center, 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive, Oklahoma City (across from the State Capitol–see map)
Monthly programs are free for members and non-members alike, but we encourage you to join! Your membership dues help us to provide more and better resources for the genealogical community of Oklahoma.
