Touching on the implications of expanded access to genealogy research tools like Ancestry and FamilySearch, Dr. Forsyth will discuss how the personal experience of discovering difficult truths about ancestors can inform classroom practice.

This lecture will be presented on Friday, Nov. 17 in the Robert W. and Patricia A. Mauer Center 104 at 4 p.m..
