But It Wasn't a Foreign Language to Your Ancestors with Janice Sellers

When
14 September 2024
1:00 PM
Location
virtual meeting via Zoom

Learning something about the languages your ancestors spoke will assist you in your research. Recognizing how names were pronounced can help you find people in indexed records; many name changes entailed translating the name into that of the new country. Online resources available to help you include word lists, alphabets, and translation engines.

This event will only be virtual. A Zoom link and a handout will be emailed to all registrants prior to the program.

Registration is now open on the Wheaton Public Library's events calendar:
