SEPTEMBER 18

BEHIND THE SCENES OF FINDING
YOUR ROOTS

Speaker: David Attride, President of Martin County Genealogical Society

Location: Blake Library, 2351 SE Monterey Rd, Stuart

One of the most popular Genealogy programs on TV, Finding Your Roots, introduces us to a variety of interesting guests as it delves into their ancestry, providing fascinating stories about their ancestors. This presentation provides a glimpse of how the successful program is created.

David Attride grew up in Florida, earning a degree in Chemical Engineering that led to a 39 year career of developing new chemical technology at a very large site in Tennessee. His passion for genealogy developed in High School. Before retirement in 2018, he self-published two books. In retirement, he has focused attention on his maternal ancestral town in southern Germany; making a research trip then writing a 3^rd book about this town (Schwäbisch Hall). He has also given significant time to Martin County Genealogical Society’s success.
