Have you started climbing your family tree and found some unsavory characters or outright criminals? Do you have questions about that odd relative who no one ever wants to talk about? Do you want to know more about these mysterious relatives with a dark past?
Rhonda Casler of the Defiance County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society will be presenting a program on “Criminals, Convicts, and Outlaws: How to Find Your Black Sheep Ancestors.”
