Program Description

Event Details

Join the Dallas Genealogical Society for a free program entitled "Incorporating Oral History into Your Research."  Library Associate Ari Wilkins will present on how oral history can dramatically enhance your genealogical research. Not only can it provide you with names, dates of life events, and places, these narratives can reveal motives for migration, explanations of brief marriages, or descriptions of an ancestor’s personality. Oral histories can offer information that traditional records may not provide.

Hospitality is provided starting at 10:30 a.m., a small business meeting occurs at 11:00 a.m., followed by the free program, "Incorporating Oral History into Your Research" starting at 11:30 a.m.
