March is right around the corner and that means it is time to celebrate National Women’s History Month.
How will you remember and honor the female ancestors in your family tree?
Here at the Accidental Genealogist we will once again run the popular Fearless Females Blogging Prompts Series starting on 1 March 2016. [You can learn about the 2015 Fearless Females Blogging Prompts here].
In addition, if you are just starting your genealogy research or have brick walls that include missing maiden names, or female ancestors that are difficult to find, join me for a special mini boot camp that I will be presenting with my colleague, Thomas MacEntee on Saturday 5 March 2016. This 90-minute mini boot camp will offer tips, resources, handouts and more and all for a bargain price. Here is the information from HackGenealogy.
