The goal of the class will be to conduct historical and genealogical research for families who traveled through the Southeastern U.S.

The states where research may be highlighted include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

As we go state by state, we will use FamilySearch Research Wiki’s Migrations section, delving into each state’s trails, routes, and paths. We will use AI for historical content and context and locate and use historic maps. Genealogical records will be searched as the class moves along the migration paths.

This class will be on Monday afternoons for six weeks and includes instructions and handouts. Laptops can be used if desired but are not required. A one-time fee of $5 is requested for printing supplies.
