The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: Evaluation of Genealogical Sources

Notice: The Palm Springs Genealogical Society is now meeting in person in The Learning Center at the Palm Springs Public Library at 10am.

This event is presented by the Palm Springs Genealogical Society with guest speaker Gary Fredericksen. This FREE program will be from 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in The Learning Center.  

Everyone needs to evaluate genealogical sources. Using theory, practice, and a case study we will illustrate how to do this.

Gary Fredericksen was the President of the Sun City Palm Desert Genealogy Club for over 10 years and was the newsletter editor for the Palm Springs Genealogical Society. He has been a frequent presenter at Southern California genealogy societies.  He is also a genealogy teacher for both beginning and advanced genealogy in the Learning in Retirement Program in Palm Desert.  He retired in 2005 as Vice President for Student Affairs at Cal Poly Pomona after 35 years in the California State University System.
