Post Office Records: Geography, Politics, Religion & More

This Zoom event is presented by the Palm Springs Genealogical Society with guest speaker Diane Richard. Post offices aren't just about mail! Post offices used to define communities and people used their location, in records, to define where they lived. Post offices also handled newspaper subscriptions and related materials. 

Diane Richard has been doing genealogical research for over 22 years. She is currently the Wake County Genealogical Society President, co-Program Chair for the North Carolina Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists, a member of the North Carolina Genealogical Society (NCGS) and had Blog and Exhibitor responsibilities for the 2009 National Genealogy Society Family History Conference. Since 2006 she has been a regular contributing author to Internet Genealogy, Discovering Family History and Family Chronicle and participates in the annual NCGS Speakers Forum.
