Topic:  Researching Military Records and More on Fold3.com
Speaker:  Marian Burk Wood
 
Sorensen Library Meeting Room

+ Zoom
 

The Fold3.com website is a gateway to millions of military records and more, including naturalization documents and city directories, useful for family history research.  This program provides an overview of Fold3's wide-ranging genealogical content and then demonstrates, step by step, how to navigate the site, with specific examples of research strategies for military/non-military documents.  Attendees will also learn how to create or expand memorial pages for our ancestors who served in the military, accessible to anyone who searches on Fold3..

The virtual doors will open between noon and 12:30 p.m. and those of you who join online can chat with one another on Zoom before the meeting begins at 1:00 p.m.
 
This program is not sponsored or endorsed by L.A. County Library.
