Basic Geography for Genealogists

Description

Genealogy is inextricably intertwined with geography. All genealogical records are created at or near the time of an event in your ancestors' lives by someone who witnessed the event or had a duty to report it. Therefore, genealogically valuable records record events in your ancestors’ and relatives’ lives and are organized and found geographically by the location of the events. Come and learn how to find the valuable records.
