Register for Tuesday's BCG webinar — Finding Your One Among Millions: Methods and Tips for Urban Research, a New York City Case Study by Amy Larner Giroux, PhD, CG, CGL

2023-06-20-register
 
Family history research in a large city can be richly rewarding as urban centers typically kept better records. However, when it is your ancestor who does not appear in the vital records, how do you find them? Searching among the plethora of people in a city such as New York can be challenging. This presentation will give attendees some ways to navigate research in urban areas using a case study in 19th-century New York City to illustrate the methods.
