MGC Beginner Packets

October 18, 2011

On a visit with family in Lawrence, Kansas, we decided to visit the Nordic Festival. The first table we saw was the Midwest Genealogy Center. Manned by a faithful volunteer, the table attracted many people asking questions about starting their family genealogy.

Several items of interest were displayed on the Midwest Genealogy Center table. One of the most important is what we call our "Beginner Packet." This folder (which is free) has a detailed explanation of how to get started in genealogy, some forms to fill out guiding the beginning genealogist to the information they need to be researching, some information about our building and location, and a list of books that will help the beginner get started.

You do not have to attend a festival in order to pick up one of our free packets. Just stop by the Midwest Genealogy Center, and one of our friendly staff members will be glad to give you one of these handy and helpful packets (and did I mention that they are free!).
