Should I Stay, or Should I Go? Using Emigrant Guides in Your Research
Saturday, April 5
Should I Stay, or Should I Go? Using Emigrant Guides in Your Research  (Speaker Series)
11:00 am
ZOOM Presentation
The Solano County Genealogical Society will host a virtual Speaker Series presentation on Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Our speaker, Cindy Brennan's topic is “Should I Stay, or Should I Go? Using Emigrant Guides in Your Research”.

Participants will learn how to delve into the “Why’s” and “How’s” of your own family’s migration to their new home. Have you wondered what pushed them to leave where they were, and pulled them to that new place? Emigrant Guides are one of those truly underutilized, and readily available resources, that can add rich details to your family’s migration stories.

Cindy Brennan has been an avid family history researcher for more than 20 years after finding a photograph of her husband’s family from 1899. He had no clue who the people were and so down the rabbit hole she went! Cindy has been the Newsletter Editor of Sonoma County Genealogy Society’s Monthly Newsletter since 2009. The many articles she continues to research and publish led to a desire to share this information through presentations with other genealogists and family historians.
