St. Cloud – Nancy Loe will kick off the St. Cloud Area Genealogists (SCAG) 2024-25 speaker series by presenting “Finding Females in U.S. Naturalization Records 1790-1952” on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m.
Whether you’re missing a naturalization record or finding an unexpected one, this session will help you discover how female ancestors — both foreign-born and birthright — gained, lost or regained citizenship in the United States between 1790 and 1952. U.S. citizenship and attendant rights for women can be fragile, depending on marital status, prevailing laws, social norms and other shifting factors. The presentation will include examples of U.S. naturalization and citizenship records, and search strategies for finding these records.
As an archivist, librarian and genealogist, Nancy has been helping researchers with their family trees since 1977. She specializes in U.S. and European family history research, presenting at webinars and conferences in the United States, Canada and Australia, including sessions for the National Genealogical Society and RootsTech. Nancy’s genealogy e-books and free monthly newsletter are available at www.sassyjanegenealogy.com.
The online event will be presented live for viewing remotely or watching with others at the Stearns History Museum, 235 33rd Ave. S., St. Cloud. The program is free to SCAG members; $7 for non-members. Non-members should email treasurer@scagmn.org at least one day prior to the event. Once paid, you will receive details on how to attend or how to receive a recording of the presentation. The individual annual membership rate for SCAG is $25.
