Barbara J. Brown Family History Seminar

Each summer, the Archives of Michigan and the Michigan Genealogical Council host a seminar to promote family history awareness and teach genealogy research skills. The Abrams Foundation generously supports the event in loving memory of Barbara J. Brown.
For this year’s event, we are pleased to offer this flagship annual gathering as a hybrid event. Participants can attend sessions either online or onsite. We are delighted to host Drew Smith, well known author and half of the Genealogy Guys Podcast team. Drew will join us on-site here in Lansing and through Zoom to our virtual attendees.
