"Getting to know you, getting to know all about you... " While this MGC Hidden Treasures class will not be focusing on Rodgers & Hammerstein's 1956 The King and I, the lyrics bear repeating, since getting to know all about city directories can open new vistas of understanding to the world of our ancestors and the research potential found within each publication. Come DIRECT your attention to the MGC treasure trove of city directories and learn how to use these resources to get "to know all about" the places our ancestors called home. Registration for this in-person class is required.
