GENEALOGY WORKSHOPS SCHEDULED FOR TWO SATURDAYS
Who were your great-grandparents? Where did they live? Were they farmers? Did they fight in a war?
Come explore your family tree! Two upcoming workshops are designed to help family historians at various points in their research. Participants may elect to attend half-day or whole-day workshops. These workshops would also make great Christmas gifts.
Beginner & intermediate research topics are on the agenda for Sat., Jan. 26. From 9:00-12:30 topics are Basics of Genealogy (Where to Look for Information, Types of Historical Records to Hunt, Where to Locate Them, Where to Get Help), & Walking the Paper Trail.
