Look at your Family History for Deaths, Events or Disasters that would add “color” to your family history, or help you understand their lives more. Is your Last Name the result of the Black Death Plaque in the years 1300 to 1400? Why a series of sudden deaths in your family? Why does a family move? Did a group of people die within a short time period? Prove your family lore stories or look for examples in your family. At the end of this session please volunteer other events from your family?
