Through a series of case studies, we will see how the usual genealogy go-to records contain clues that reveal research leads. We will also see how studying the men in women's lives unlocks doors to their own details. Also, we will explore how historical context sets the scene for understanding the circumstances that influenced the choices and stories of our female ancestors.
