Family Lore and Forgotten Records - Digging Deeper Into Your Family History

"Grandma Said What? Gathering and Verifying Your Family's Oral Traditions" Cochran will discuss what oral history is and talk about strategies to interview your family; then, go through the process of verifying a family story. "No OMPF? No Problem!" Researching 20th-century veterans is especially difficult as a fire destroyed millions of Official Military Personnel Files in 1973. This class will look at other ways to find the stories of the WWI, WWII, Korea and peacetime veterans in our families. Seating is limited to 75 spots. Registration is required.
