Susan: I wanted to update the presentations. The first presentation is called "Tumbleweeds in the Window -- Women Homesteaders and Genealogy." So the focus will be on our female homesteading forebears. The other one is called "Who's Hiding in Your Drawer?" This is a two-part presentation on dating and identifying 19th-Century photographs. Even those who have seen my prior presentations on photographs will be getting many more examples and case studies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, Gail!
