Join post-doc Chrissy Widmayer for her online workshop on contextualizing family history! Participants will learn how they can use research into history, place, and culture to contextualize their family’s history and seek answers for unanswered questions. By exploring research methods and the ways we can sift and winnow broad searches down to essential understandings, we can start to scale up our research beyond our individual experience to understand the past in a new way..
Registration with the Norwegian American Genealogical Center is required.
Cost: $10 member/$15 non-member
