Sarah Lockwood will present, “Introduction to Scandinavian Digital Archives” at the Lyon County Museum on Monday, October 5 at 1:30 PM
Learn about the digital archives of Norway, Sweden and Denmark. They have rich resources, but can be frustrating to navigate. This presentation will share tips to help you with your learning curve.
Sarah Lockwood is a proud Minnesotan, with ancestry from both an adopted family and a birth family. Forensic genealogy has been a personal journey for Sarah. As an adoptee, she used what she learned about forensic DNA matching to find her own birth mother and father! She turned her love of genealogy into a professional business. She began AncestryHelp in 2022, as a small business, to help others discover their family history one ancestor at a time and to help fellow family genealogists strengthen their research skills. Her two favorite projects to work on are writing family narratives and teaching research skills. Sarah has earned certificates in Genealogical Research from Boston University, Investigative Genetic Genealogy from Ramapo College, and has completed a ProGen Study Group.
The program is free and open the public. Light refreshments will be served. Programs at the Lyon County Museum are sponsored by members. For more information, contact the Lyon County Museum at 507-537-6580.
