Program Description

Event Details

Get whisked across the Atlantic with genealogist Sara Cochran of The Skeleton Whisperer, as she opens the door to the world of Scottish family history just in time for Scottish American History Month in April. Discover the stories behind clan connections, Highland history, and those mysterious ancestors who suddenly appear (or disappear!) in your tree. Learn where to hunt for records, how Scottish naming patterns can reveal hidden generations, and why digging into Scotland’s past may unlock surprises you never expected. Bring your curiosity—bagpipes optional!

Join Dallas Genealogical Society on the first Saturday of the month (Sep-May) to hear a free genealogy speaker and learn new ways to find YOUR family history. Hospitality is provided at 10:30 a.m. followed by a short business meeting at 11 a.m. followed shortly by the FREE educational presenter.

Can't make it in person? Join the meeting online through the DGS website.
