Bray School Stories
Sign up for our mailing list to be reminded of all upcoming entries in the Bray School Stories series.
Join the W&M Bray School Lab monthly in a new series on Zoom: Bray School Stories: Finding the Bray School Students. Led by Elizabeth Drembus of the W&M Bray School Lab, these sessions blend research and exploration and aim to shed light on the past and connect it to the present through descendant-centered genealogical research.
Elizabeth’s approach is engaging. Drawing from her deep expertise in genealogy, she presents findings, shares tales of discovery, and opens up discussions about challenges. Participants will find a space to ask questions, share insights, discuss possibilities, and delve deeper into genealogical methods.
The sessions are interactive, ensuring everyone has a chance to contribute. While the focus is on the Bray School students, attendees will walk away with more: a sense of connection to history, a better grasp of genealogical research, and resources to explore their family histories.
Each month, Elizabeth will focus on a different Williamsburg Bray School student community member. In just an hour, this monthly gathering offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of the past, inviting everyone to engage, learn, and remember. It’s a curated, guided journey into history.
