Wednesday, October 12, 6:30 pm.  Researching your Hispanic Heritage.  This Zoom presentation will help descendants from the Caribbean, Central, South and North American former Spanish colonies start the journey of healing and empowerment through the knowledge of their family history.  Presenter: Irisneri Alicea Flores. Nine years ago she took the leap to start researching her family history in Puerto Rico and has never looked back.  She is fluent in Spanish and English and her research mostly focuses on former Spanish colonies, and she helps descendants get empowered with the knowledge of their family history and guide them through the healing that comes with this knowledge. Please register for this Zoom event by clicking here

Thursday, October 20, 6:00 p.m.  Cross the Pond:  Researching your European Roots.  Records and family history tell you an ancestor was born in Europe. But you need more than a country to “cross the pond.” This program will introduce the sources most likely to provide a specific town or county of birth for an ancestor who arrived in the US in the late 19th and early 20th century.  Please click here to register for this Zoom event.  Presenter:  Bryna O'Sullivan of Charter Oak Genealogy.
