From internment records and various online resources, to clues on monuments, this seated presentation and walking tour will not only shed light on a particular 19th century Philadelphia Family, but provide a basic understanding of how to dig into one’s own family history. As LHC Superintendent Bill Doran likes to say, were all related.
