“Point of Origin: How to Find Your Ancestral Village”—presented by Lisa Vogele

Join us for Part Two of Lisa’s presentation. In November we learned about a variety of sources to help locate your ancestor’s point of origin before arriving in the United States and this month we will learn how to prepare to travel in your ancestors’ footsteps. An experience that holds a unique adventure for everyone. Whether you’ve traced your relatives back hundreds of years or you’re an adoptee who’s taken a DNA test, heritage travel is scalable to all budgets and locations. This presentation provides ideas for consideration, trusted suppliers, and tips to make the planning process smoother.
