The Sonoma County Genealogical Society presents speaker Laura Cubbage-Draper, CG, who will be discussing "Finding Female Ancestors. 

 

Researching the women in our family can be problematic. Many of our female ancestors left very few records, making it challenging to determine a maiden name or family of origin. This program will cover strategies and record groups that can advance your research and help to uncover your female ancestors as well as learn more about their lives.

 

Cubbage-Draper is a genealogical researcher and lecturer based in Metuchen, New Jersey. A Garden State native with deep Pennsylvania and German roots, she began researching her family in 1999 and earned the Certified Genealogist credential in 2024. She holds a certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University.

 

This meeting is free via zoom. The meeting starts at 12:30 p.m. and the presentation begins at 1:00 pm PST
