Event Education-In the Beginning, All America Was Virginia

In the Beginning, All America Was Virginia

by Ann Blomquist

“In the Beginning, All America was Virginia” will focus on how to search for Virginia ancestors from the founding of the colony in 1607 through the American Revolution. Many of our early ancestors resided there before migrating westward. The suggestions for tracing early ancestors there can be applied to other early colonies as well. 

Ann K. Blomquist, M.Ed., is the administrator of the First Families of TN program at the East TN Historical Society in Knoxville. Ann is the registrar for the Knoxville chapters of Daughters of 1812 and Daughters of the American Colonists. In June she will be registrar for her Jefferson County DAR chapter. She is the author of 13 genealogy books, the editor of three genealogy magazines, and a presenter at genealogy conferences and workshops. 

Access will be through GoToWebinar.  Instructions and Connectivity Link will be forwarded via email to all registrants upon registration, six days prior and again 1 hour prior to the event.  Making the connection is quick and easy only requiring a computer and Internet connectivity from wherever you chose to watch the event. Your questions help drive the meetings, and we will be there to help each other.
