Researching Your Home and the People Who Lived There

Learn how to research a property, be it an old home, a new business, or a section of pastureland. This talk shares creative ways to study documents and assemble relevant narratives from
maps, deeds, newspapers, and often unsought or unknown resources. This is ideal for those new to seeking out family and community stories, and helpful for those stymied by a dead end. Presented by Diana Staresinic-Deane, who is the executive director of Franklin County Historical Society and Old
Depot Museum in Ottawa.
This event is being hosted by the Overbrook Historical Society and is made possible due to the generous support of Humanities Kansas @humanitieskansas.
