America250 Talk: Where Were Your Ancestors in July of 1776? by Karen Buckley

Join the Clinton County History Center on Monday, July 27 at 7:00 p.m. for a fascinating genealogy and history program presented by Karen Buckley titled, “Where Were Your Ancestors in July of 1776?” Admission is free and open to both members and the general public.

As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this engaging lecture invites guests to step back in time and consider where their own family members may have been during one of the most pivotal moments in American history. Were your ancestors living in the colonies? Serving in the Revolutionary War? Remaining loyal to the British Crown? Already moving westward? Or perhaps living in another part of the world entirely?

Karen Buckley will explore ways genealogists and family historians can begin tracing their family stories during the Revolutionary era while also examining the broader historical landscape of July 1776. This program is perfect for seasoned researchers, casual history lovers, and anyone curious about their personal connection to the American story.

The lecture will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Clinton County History Center in Wilmington. 

Come discover how local history, family history, and national history all intersect — because every family story is part of the larger American story.
