About the Program

Grandma Said What? Gathering and Verifying Your Family's Oral History

Nearly all of us have them - stories from the mundane to the outlandish about our own family history.  In this presentation, we'll talk about what oral history really is and why we need to confirm it, how to gather and preserve stories and family information through interviews, then take a look at a couple of "tall tales" and the types of records and resources could provide details to help confirm - or possibly disprove - the story.
