This Halloween season Genealogist Debra Dudek will highlight Spiritualism. She will review newspapers, records, and resources to help you connect with the supernatural side of your ancestry. R

During the 19th century, thousands and perhaps millions of Americans participated in the rise of Spiritualism - a movement based on the belief that the living could communicate directly with the deceased. The popularity of this movement stretched through the 1920s.
