In this course, join Stewart Traiman as we explore the historical presence of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Queer individuals in our family histories. Contrary to assumptions, confirmed bachelors or spinster aunts may not have been single; they might have had partners, even if there's no legal documentation or family acknowledgment. We'll investigate census records, newspapers, obituaries, military records, photographs, archives, and more to uncover clues about our LGBTQ ancestors. The class will also delve into LGBTQ history and stories, providing context for available records. The class goal is to enrich our family history by discovering and including the stories of our LGBTQ ancestors.
