SUMMARY:Unlocking Women’s Histories: A Genealogy Workshop
DESCRIPTION: \nJoin us for a powerful and inspiring virtual workshop designed for genealogy enthusiasts\, researchers\, and history lovers passionate about uncovering the hidden lives of women throughout U.S. history. \nLed by Mary Risseeuw\, this session will explore how to break through the “brick walls” that often obscure women’s stories in historical records. You’ll learn how social and legal norms have impacted women’s visibility in documents and discover tools and techniques for tracing female ancestors—especially through underutilized sources like personal letters\, diaries\, and ephemera. \nBring your questions and engage in a live Q&A session following the lecture. \nThis event is a fundraiser for the Hattie M. Walvoord Scholarship at New Brunswick Theological Seminary\, supporting women enrolled in our certificate programs. \nRegistration: $15\nAdditional donations are welcomed and deeply appreciated to help empower the next generation of women in ministry. \nAbout the Presenter\nMary Risseeuw is a genealogist\, historian\, writer\, lecturer\, and artist. She has researched 19th- and 20th-century Dutch immigration for over 30 years and has published and lectured extensively throughout the U.S. and the Netherlands. She serves on the Board of the Association for the Advancement of Dutch American Studies. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to recover and celebrate women’s stories—one document at a time. \nRegister Here \n
