 by Diane L. Richard
Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at 7:00PM
IN PERSON and ONLINE
 
There are many websites from around the world, some with a genealogy focus and others created by scholars, historians, individuals, and other entities that are relevant and leverageable by genealogists.   Please join us on Wednesday, May 3 at 7:00 PM at the OWASA Community Center, 400 Jones Ferry Rd, Carrboro, OR ONLINE via Zoom, to hear Diane L. Richard present 50 Mostly "Hot off the Press" Websites You want to Check Out.   Having authored articles for Internet Genealogy since 2006, Diane has frequently written about off-the-beaten-track resources unfamiliar to most genealogists that they should check out.  After the success of her talk “Fifty Overlooked Genealogical Resources in 50 Minutes,” she has rounded up even more of these less familiar and yet invaluable resources.
