Clallam County Genealogical Society Western Overland Trails
Saturday, March 11th at 10:00 the Genealogical Society of Clallam County will meet. Steven Morrison, a professional genealogist who is known for his wonderful presentations throughout the Northwest will present a talk entitled, WESTERN OVERLAND TRAILS – Following the Seven Ts
He will discuss seven major trails from the Midwest to the West in this session. The principal routes include the Oregon and California Trails, the Mormon migration, the Santa Fe Trail, and some of which we are less familiar. These trails were the OVERLAND RIVERS which helped populate the West. The stories of these adventurous travelers are relevant to the character of Americans at that time in history.
Steven’s genealogical journey began in 1998 with the publication of a remembrance of his grandmother. Since then, he has authored many articles and books, and has shared his research with Societies, History and Genealogical Conferences and Symposiums. His material is always well researched, organized and presented.
