Guest Speaker: Sharon Hoyt, CG
One day in the early 1900s, August Lawrence left his Minnesota home for a job and never returned. Join us to learn how genealogy research solved the mystery of his century-old disappearance. The talk will cover several strategies to help you break down even long-standing brick walls, including researching friends, family, associates, and neighbors; researching others with the same name; and using a wide range of records.
