Tuesday, September 24, 2024 @ 1:00 p.m.: Ancestors Prior to the Revolutionary War

HYBRID MEETING: Presented by David Fryxell, Author, Editor and Experienced Genealogist

​

It's easy to forget that America's colonial history spans almost 170 years before U.S. Independence, beginning with the founding of Jamestown in Virginia on May 14, 1607. If some of your ancestors came over on the Mayflower or subsequent colonial arrivals instead of through Ellis Island, researching their lives in colonial America has never been easier. Whether they were among the earliest colonists or came later to less-storied destinations, you can now find pre-1776 ancestors in a boatload of online resources.

HYBRID MEETING: Presented by Roger Dudley, Experienced Genealogist

 

Few of the amazing number of maps that have been produced in the world have been created for genealogists, but all can be used in genealogical research. Finding the availability of these maps will be a key component of this presentation with the emphasis on the Denver Public Library collection
