I Didn’t Realize What I Didn’t Know: The Truth About Aunt Gwen – June 18, 2026

Webinar Abstract: We know we need to do reasonably exhaustive searches for information in genealogy – but do we really think about WHAT we need to research?  I thought I knew all about my Great-Aunt Gwen – I had known her, her husband George, their daughter and grand-children all my life. But when someone asked me a simple family question, I discovered I didn’t have an answer. That search turned into a really INTERESTING and EYE-OPENING experience. Come along as this case study takes us on some unusual twists and turns – including multiple marriages, divorces, and more.
