Maiden Names Revealed: A Step-by-Step Guide

A course taught by Gena Philibert Ortega at Family Tree University. Discovering a female ancestor’s maiden name is necessary to uncovering her parents’ names. Unfortunately, finding a maiden name can be more than difficult. This course will start with the foundation of research including using timelines and research logs. We will then discuss how to ask research questions and where to research the answers. A discussion of what records include maiden names will be explored. What resources to use and how to search will also be discussed.
