The British Interest Group of Wisconsin and Illinois welcomes as guest speaker, Margaret (Peg) Mackle Kapustiak.
Peg Kapustiak’s topic will be “30 Different Maps, plus Using the Internet to Locate Maps Useful for Family History.” The past is not hidden; we see it every day, though we often do not even know it. Maps can unlock details about your family or lead you to new resources. Peg will help us explore various kinds of maps, look at details included and not included, and offer suggestions on locating maps for the British Islands, using various sources, including the Internet.
