“Beyond the Records: Putting Flesh on the Bones of Your Civil War Ancestor” by Annette Burke Lyttle

This program is in honor of the late Fred Pflugrath, who gathered burial information on Civil War veterans throughout Eastern Washington.

It’s never been so easy to find facts about your Civil War ancestor. But how can we reconstruct their experiences? This presentation will show you how to fill in the blanks between the facts, allowing you to tell your ancestors’ stories of the war.

Recreating Your Ancestor’s World by Mary Kircher Roddy.

Realtors always talk about location, but genealogists all know that CONTEXT is where it’s at! Being able to visualize your ancestor’s world gives your dates and places a vibrancy they would lack otherwise. Seattle-based Mary Kircher Roddy will show us how maps, city directories, census records and more can help us get to know our forebears.

Here is the speaker’s HANDOUT.

Kick back and relax this summer. We’ll be taking a break from WAGS programs in August. Find something cool to drink and a cool place to be. Nothing to read? Stop by the WAGS Library (Tuesdays and Saturdays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.) and see what you can find in our checkout section. We’d enjoy visiting with you.

Get refreshed and ready for a new “school year,” when our monthly programs resume in September–second Mondays at 2:00 p.m.
