Do you research families of Mexican origin, whether families in Mexico or those who immigrated to the United States? You won’t want to miss the full day seminar I am teaching for the Dallas Genealogical Society (DGS) on Saturday, July 26, 2025 from 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Central Time.
Seminar Logistics
The seminar is offered in a hybrid format. Those who want to and are able to attend in-person can join me at the Dallas Public Library in Dallas, Texas. Those who need or prefer the flexibility of attending virtually can join me on Zoom. If you have not yet attended a DGS hybrid seminar, they do an excellent job of hosting hybrid events.
Can’t make the live July 26th event at all? Registration provides you with on-demand access to the syllabus and video recordings to read and watch later.
I am so excited to get back to Texas for the first time since before the Pandemic!
