Join us on November 12, where Diana Crisman Smith will give us some pointers on conducting research in the Midwest in her presentation Little Houses on the Prairie: Midwestern Research Techniques.

Date: Tuesday, November 12, 2013, 8:00 pm Central

Description: Do you have Midwestern ancestors? Have you found them difficult to research because they are "different" from New England, or the south, or...wherever? There are some tricks and techniques which make researching this region less intimidating.
