It’s Academic!

Finding Your Ancestors in Records of Higher Learning

Presented by Cindy Brennan

Not only do college and university libraries contain a plethora of information on faculty and students, but the academic library is usually the storehouse for the surrounding community. You may discover your ancestors’ records there, even if they did not attend the university.

Members: FREE! (no need to register)
Non-members: $5 donation — Please register to pay

Cindy Brennan has been an avid family history researcher for more than 25 years after finding a photograph of her husband’s family from 1899. He had no clue who the people were and so down the rabbit hole she went!

Cindy has been the Newsletter Editor of Sonoma County Genealogy Society’s Monthly Newsletter since 2009. The many articles she continues to research and publish led to a desire to share this information through presentations with other genealogists and family historians.
