Genealogy for Beginners: A 3-Part Series

The holidays are fast approaching! Want to impress your relatives with your knowledge about your family tree? Join genealogists and historians Diana Ross McCain and Carol R. Whitmer of “Come Home to Connecticut” for a crash course in everything you need to know about starting (or continuing) your research into your family’s history, whether your  roots stretch back to the Mayflower or your family first arrived in the United States in the twentieth century. Attend one, two, or all three workshops!

  • November 2 - Start Climbing Your Family Tree: Genealogical Research for Beginners (Main Library)
  • November 16 - Genealogy and the Internet: The Good, the Bad, and the Improbable (Barney Library)
  • November 23 - Writing Your Family History: What You Need to Know (Main Library)

THIS WEEK: For every genealogist, there will come a time when they want to put the information collected on generations of ancestors into a format that will clearly tell the family’s story. Our presenters will discuss how to transform records and charts into a readable narrative and how to fully document the story so it serves as a reliable record.
