Lisa Alzo
Genealogist Lisa Alzo will present No Easy Button: Using Immersion Genealogy to Understand Your Ancestors at the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society’s free monthly meeting, 9:30 a.m.-noon Saturday, April 17, via Zoom.
Family history is more than just names, dates and places, or boxes, lines and charts. For 21st century genealogists, it is easy to limit research to the documents or other facts found online, or to what others tell us to be true.
Alzo will talk about how to take genealogy research a step further to understand your ancestors’ lives through immersion genealogy, the process of discovering where they lived, worked and worshipped, and experiencing those customs and traditions they passed down through the generations.
