We're celebrating Pride Month in the Indiana Room with LGBTQ stories from genealogy expert Stewart Traiman, presented in partnership with the Noblesville Diversity Coalition. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Queer folks have always been a part of our history and family stories. This class will explore census, newspapers, obituaries, military records, photographs, phone books and archives for clues on our ancestor's often hidden identities. We will explore LGBTQ History and many individual stories giving context to the available records. Discovering our LGBTQ ancestor's stories will enrich our entire family history.
