Speaker – February 2025

SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

 “Publishing Your Family History”

Presented by: Diane Henriks

History is a Social Science, and every person is a part of it. As we learn about our family members and their experiences, we should be sharing their stories with others. Join me as we learn how to organize and disseminate our family’s stories to family members and the public, to preserve for future generations!

About the speaker: Diane Henriks, also known as the Descendant Detective and founder of Know Who Wears the Genes in Your Family, is a passionate and seasoned Los Angeles County-based professional genealogist, investigator, speaker, and author who specializes in descendancy and brick wall research, along with living people search and unknown parentage. Diane has worked closely with private investigators to find living people while also assisting in background investigations, in both civil and criminal cases. She is a proud member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the Genealogical Speakers Guild, and the Southern California Genealogical Society. What started out as a small hobby well over a decade ago, when a hand-drawn family tree chart was given to her by her father, has since become a great obsession, and she now helps others discover and preserve who they are and where they came from!

This month we will be offering our speaker’s presentation In-Person ONLY!
