Genealogical Society of Santa Cruz County:
How to Solve Surname Problems
Special guest speaker, Cynthia Stanford, will explore some of the problems in finding our particular ancestors for various surnames in databases and indexes, and other records, offering some ideas on how to deal with these genealogical research challenges.
