Two free genealogy webinars are scheduled for this week covering the topics of prohibition and evidence analysis.
The Illinois State Genealogical Society will present “The Great Lakes and the Role They Played in the Years of Prohibition” on Tuesday, Aug. 13 at 9 p.m. During Prohibition in the United States, a great many people obtained alcohol from Canada, then moved it to big cities in the U.S. This webinar will focus on Chicago’s illegal importation of booze. If your ancestor lived in or near the Windy City during the 1920s, there is a possibility that he/she was involved in bootlegging, on some level.
