Interested In Genealogy?

January 03, 2012

Many of our customers come to our branch to learn how to begin their genealogy search. Unfortunately, many of us here at the Riverside Branch are not experts in this subject. But we do have a very excellent resource available to us, the Midwest Genealogy Center, which is a part of the MCPL system. Starting in January of 2012, we will begin an evening series of genealogy-related topics taught by the expert staff from the MGC.

Our first program is Beginning Genealogy, scheduled on January 9 at 7:00 p.m. Registration is required, but the classes are free. Other programs in this series include:

• February 13, 2012 7:00 pm – Beginning Internet Genealogy
• March 12, 2012 7:00 pm – Beginning Census Records
• April 9, 2012 7:00 pm – Irish Research: Here and There
• May 14, 2012 7:00 pm – Passenger Lists
• July 9, 2012 7:00 pm – Cemetery Art: What Does that thing on the Headstone Mean?
• August 13, 2012 7:00 pm – Take a Genealogy Trip

I’m looking forward to this series, and look forward to seeing you there!
