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.
Her topic for the evening will be "Local and County Histories". Local and county histories are often overlooked resources that can contain a wealth of resources on your ancestors and the places that they lived. This presentation explores the background of local and county history books, what information can be found in them, and where to find them, both in print and online.
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)
