Come learn why she is considered one of the greatest actresses of her time.

Genealogy Series: Finding Your Immigrant Ancestors

Immigrant ancestors can be difficult to track to the port of entry. Sometimes it’s so fun to go looking for the immigration documentation, researchers skip the vital first step: laying a firm foundation of records in America. We’ll look at a methodical approach that will help researchers lay a firm foundation of U.S. records before trying to run to the port and jump the pond.

Genealogy Series: Town Histories as a Local Touchstone--POSTPONED

THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN POSTPONED. THE NEW DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED ASAP.

 

Town histories, often penned by local experts and town historians, can be a treasure trove of information. Made up of local history and genealogies, not only can they help make linkages throughout the family tree, but they can also build context for the lives of your ancestors and be a springboard to further research. Join us as we explore these useful secondary resources!

Genealogy Series: What's New in Newspapers?

Join us to take a glimpse into free and paid archives and explore some new digital repositories. We’ll also go over how to access those pesky in-print and microfilm newspapers that are forever (digitally) out of reach.
