MAY 2023

presented by

DR. Penny Walters

Join us for this FREE webinar (open to all), focusing on the dilemmas we all face when doing genealogical research.

Dr Walters will present via Zoom live from England on the controversial and somewhat challenging issues we often face in genealogical research: from the awkwardness of breaking news of a discovery to family members, unexpected DNA results, what to post online, “someone is using my photos without permission,” to criminal records, and more. Framed by the genealogist’s code of ethics as a guide, Dr. Walters highlights the empathy, compassion, and sensitivity that we need, as we take this journey into our family’s history.
