“Community Research Using the National Register of Historic Places and the Historical Marker Database”

Peggy Lauritzen
9/9/23

Categories: O, LDS

Talk Abstract:
Two genealogists began a conversation over lunch and ideas began to tumble around as they approached a common research dilemma from two different angles. It wasn’t long before they discovered these two valuable sites that led to valuable discoveries in their research. Those metal signs you see on old buildings or the metal historic markers by the side of the road may offer clues to the lives of your ancestors.
