Meeting IN PERSON and... Virtual Via Zoom!
Presented by Emily Richardson.
Retired from full time leadership in higher education, I am now focused on my genealogy passion. Brought up by a genealogist who never used the computer, I understand the importance of finding original documentation to substantiate ancestors. Kinsearchers was my mother's business which I now operate to help others with their genealogy research.
