Victoria Kinnear,Genealogist, will present this program.

Writing our ancestors’ stories is significant, enriching and a critical component of family history. Many ancestors don’t leave a wide trail of commonly researched records. A little digging can uncover important and possibly surprising details of their lives and deaths. With the help of a mental shovel, a magnifying glass, and a timeline of their lives, details of their stories can be found and most importantly, shared.

 Victoria Kinnear is a professional genealogist and columnist (Gettysburg Times) who has worked for Genealogy Roadshow, Finding Your Roots, and Who Do You Think You Are. She has also been a Genealogist for Ancestry and researched for various projects including the Georgetown College sale of 272 slaves in 1838, and multiple forensic genealogy heir research projects

This is the general meeting of the Santa Clara County Historical and Genealogical Society. It begins with refreshments and conversations.  All are welcome.
