Presenter: Patricia (Kangas) Ktistes
Saturday, Sept. 14th
Many of us thoroughly enjoyed reading the serialized publications of Ktistes’ 1997 Dartmouth thesis, Finns: An Oral History of Finnish-Americans in the Monadnock Region. We welcome her insights on “how to get started on collecting your family history” as our featured presenter for the 2024 New Ipswich Historical Society Annual Meeting.
