Misbegotten Children: Tracing Family Lines of Illegitimate

Featuring keynote speaker Peggy Clemens Lauritzen - Nearly all families have children with seemingly missing fathers. Yet, there may be clues and resources to help us determine their ancestry. Illegitimacy can be both a surprise and an embarrassment as we discover more and more about our family's history.
