FAMILY HISTORY: VITAL RECORDS – BIRTH, MARRIAGE, AND DEATH

Join ASU professor emeritus Duane Roen, founding coordinator for the Project for Writing and Recording Family History in the College of Integrative Science and Arts, for this unique family history workshop. Counties and states have maintained vital records since the middle of the 1800s, but some states didn’t start doing that until the early 1900’. In this workshop, we will review the ways to access these records and how to use them. We ill also talk about ways to find and access birth, marriage, and death record before government agencies-both in the U.S. and in other countries-started maintaining them. We also talk about the kinds of information that can be found on these records. Bring a laptop, or notepad and pen. Ages 14 and up. Registration required
