Researching My Slovaks

by Michelle Bray Wilson

Michelle has extensively researched her three immigrant ancestors from Slovakia, who came at the end of the 19th century to settle on the Bohemian Flats along on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Along the way Michelle has had several serendipitous finds and collected many, many stories that she will relate. This talk will also explore the available records, research sites and societies that will prove helpful to anyone researching Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians and nearby populations.

Michelle Bray Wilson has been active in the genealogy community for more than fifteen years. She speaks throughout the Midwest, most frequently on genetic genealogy, French Canada, ancient ancestry, and creating family history books. She is a former president of CAGGNI, the Computer Assisted Genealogy Group of Northern Illinois, and served many years as Registrar at a local DAR chapter.
