Join Julie Goucher of the One Name Studies Guild for a guide into how to do a one name study.  Julie will teach the basics of creating A Surname or One-Name Study project where you seek to collect every instance of the surname across all timespans and across the globe, as far as practical and possible.  While not a full course, this webinar will give you the highlights of how to begin a One Name Study.  Who doesn’t need a new project for 2022?
