Location, Location, Location: The Value of Place-Based Research

Join us in person or online for four great presentations on place-based research. The focus will be on researching the places where your ancestors lived, worked and maybe fought. Great resources to learn more information about your ancestors and their lives, and how to incorporate them into your family history. All presentations include something for genealogists at every level.

If you can join us in person, we’ll have a continental breakfast, buffet lunch, snacks and drinks, genealogy book sales, door prizes, and great genealogy friends. If you can’t join us in person, you can register and view the presentations on Zoom. As in the past, we plan to make the presentations available to all registrants for a time after the event.

Presentations will include:

• Place-Based Research
• Genealogy Gems in the Monuments, Memorials, and National Parks of Maryland
• Treasures from the National Register of Historic Places
• Using Maps & Geographic Tools for Genealogical Research

Our speakers will be MGS Board Members Sandy Quick and Heather O'Hara.
