Sarah Lockwood will present "Family History: Fact or Fiction" at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 3, at the Lyon County Museum.
Our family histories can be compiled from many different sources. Some information passes down by word of mouth, some can be authenticated by certificates or other documentation, and some can be gleaned from others' work. Learn how to polish your family history to become a verifiable and accurate source of which you can be proud.
Lockwood is a proud Minnesotan, with ancestry from both an adopted family and a birth family. Forensic genealogy has been a personal journey for Sarah. As an adoptee, she used what she learned about forensic DNA matching to find her own birth mother and father! She turned her love of genealogy into a professional business. She began AncestryHelp in 2022, as a small business, to help others discover their family history one ancestor at a time and to help fellow family genealogists strengthen their research skills.
The program is free and open the public. Light refreshments will be served. Programs at the Lyon County Museum are sponsored by members. For more information, contact the Lyon County Museum at 507-537-6580.
