382 views

Arizona has a rich history that must be understood as one starts to research their ancestors who lived in the Grand Canyon state. In this presentation we will go over a history of the state starting with the Native American tribes who have called the state home and explore the years as the state continued to grow with Spanish, Mexican, and pioneer populations. We will continue our look at Arizona and its people by exploring the records and repositories that exist to help you trace your ancestor’s lives. This presentation is a must if you want to enhance your knowledge of the resources available for researching your Arizona family.
