Your Ancestor’s FAN Club

Using Cluster Research to Get Past Brick Walls

Our ancestors were each surrounded by Family, Associates, and Neighbors. By researching them, we discover additional records pointing to our own ancestors. Join us in person for a webinar on this interesting topic by Drew Smith.
