The History of Genealogy:
From Biblical begetting, royalty, Donald Lines Jacobus to online ancestors
1:30 pm to 3:00 pm
Eastern Time via Zoom
The history of genealogy, finding and recording ancestors has a very long history. It is a field that started in the Middle Ages, and is still evolving today. Find out how it started in the context of corruption, lies and ambition, but transformed into a field with high standards, accuracy and advanced tools — and controversy.
