Finding the Females in Your Family Tree
We have an equal number of female and male ancestors, but the women are usually the most difficult to research because they change their surnames every time they marry. Plus, they had few legal rights so they are not easy to find in the records and databases. This course is designed to help you find ways around the difficulties so you can learn as much about the ladies as the men in your lineage.
