Skeletons in the Family Closet:
Dealing with the Unexpected
A live presentation by Karen Fortin
 
We all find scandals, scalawags, and other surprises in  
the course of our genealogical research. This presenta-
tion explores some of the unexpected, and sometimes
unsavory, facts that may arise and ethical considerations
to keep in mind when deciding how to share them.  
 
Karen A. Fortin has degrees in History and Library and 
Information Science and a passion for research. She
worked in a public library in Florida for 30 years before
switching to genealogical lecturing in 2016.
 
She is a member of various genealogical societies and
loves to help people explore their family history so that
they can better understand their ancestors and the
world in which they lived.
 
Guests are always welcome to attend.
