How to Trace Ancestors Through Letters and Postcards, with guest Kathryn Lake Hogan

WEBINAR via Zoom

Family history goes beyond vital statistics; it’s about listening to the voices of our ancestors. Letters, postcards, telegrams, and other everyday forms of communication bring personal experiences to life and add context that official records often lack. Learn how to find these materials in archives, local collections, and family holdings, and interpret them as historical evidence. Discover how to analyze handwriting, postmarks, and even the language of telegrams to trace migration, community connections, and family ties. Diaries, autograph books, and early phone directories will also be highlighted as sources that capture ordinary lives. Attendees will leave with strategies to uncover and preserve these fragile yet powerful records of daily life.
