The majority of ancestral Scandinavians shared a small number of given names & surnames. Following ancestors without becoming mixed up in the patronymic pot can be a challenge. This class will provide guidance for focusing on your ancestor & eliminating other possible family lines. We will discuss methodology specific to Scandinavian research to enable your success.
This free webinar is available for anyone to participate live on May 15th at 7:00 pm MDT (9:00 EDT, 5:00 PDT). UGA members will be able to watch the recording afterward at ugagenealogy.org.
