Museum hosts genealogist for lecture
The Brick Store Museum will host a talk with certified genealogist Pam Eagleson at 2 p.m. Thursday via Zoom as part of its virtual springtime lecture series “Expanded Perspectives of History.
Eagleson will present “Uncovering the Struggles & Stories of Our Ancestors.” It is often difficult to get to know 18th and 19th century ancestors as few records are left to tell us their stories – a name, a couple of census records, a tombstone, perhaps a photo and, if lucky, an obituary. However, with deep digging in what documents are available, their stories can be found. This presentation looks at four individuals and the challenges they faced.
Registration is free, and spots can be reserved at brickstoremuseum.org or call the museum at 985-4802. Lectures will be recorded and made available to registrants and museum members.
