Genealogy Research Roundtable: "There's More Than One Way to Climb a Family Tree" with Sara Greenleaf In-Person

Beyond Ancestry and FamilySearch lies a landscape of resources that can transform your research—if you know how to navigate it. This session focuses on developing strategies to identify and evaluate lesser-known but reliable sites, helping you separate what’s truly useful from what’s not. By strengthening your skills in discovery and assessment, you’ll gain confidence to pursue specialized resources that enrich and expand your genealogical work.
