Heather Register Zbinden: “Are You My Mother?: Searching for Lost Relatives in the 1950 Census”

CALS Butler Center for Arkansas Studies Presents LEGACIES & LUNCH

Speaker: Heather Register Zbinden

Genealogists have always known about missing relatives hiding in the census. But when it is your own mother, grandmother, and aunt, how do you know when to stop searching? Follow one historian’s search for her mother in the 1950 United States Census and learn about the family lore that solved the puzzle.

Heather Register Zbinden is the Programs & Website Coordinator for the CALS Bobby L. Roberts Library of Arkansas History & Art. Her areas of research include late Imperial Russian history, fashion history, and women’s history. She received her MA in public history from UA Little Rock and wrote her master’s thesis on the life and letters of Katherine Carson Breckinridge.
