The October Lunch & Learn presentation, “First in Our State” by Michael N. Henderson, is now available on the Georgia Archives YouTube channel.

A retired U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander and native of New Orleans, Henderson began researching his family history nearly four decades ago. His research has taken him through numerous archival repositories and led to discoveries about his ancestors' experiences in French and Spanish Colonial Louisiana, including their connections to the American Revolution.

During this presentation, Henderson discusses the genealogical research that led to his induction into the Georgia Society, Sons of the American Revolution in 2010 and his subsequent election as president of the organization's Button Gwinnett Chapter in 2012. He also shares his efforts to bring greater recognition to overlooked Revolutionary War Patriots, document his family's history, and encourage others to explore their own ancestry.
