BCG offers free webinar on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, 8:00 p.m. EST

This webinar is based on the subject of the 2007 winner of the National Genealogical Society Family History Writing Contest, “A Family for Suzanne.” The speaker will use historical documents to identify significant events in the life of an enslaved woman who was purchased by a man in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, when she was three-and-a-half or four years old.

BCG’s next free monthly webinar in conjunction with Legacy Family Tree Webinars is “A Family for Suzanne” by Ruth Randall, CG®. This webinar airs Tuesday, February 16, 2021, at 8:00 p.m. eastern standard time (EST).
