“Ephemera: Scraps of Your Ancestor’s Life”

What’s ephemera? It’s the stuff that much of our genealogy research is built on. Defined as paper items that were not meant for long-term archiving, ephemera can hold great genealogical value. In this presentation Gena will show you examples of ephemera and how and where you can find it.
