Genealogy 101 Part Two: Resource Navigation Adults
SAT | APR 5 | 1:00 PM | GENEALOGY 101 PART TWO: RESOURCE NAVIGATION | ADULTS
Ever wonder about your family history? Who was your grandmother’s grandfather? What did he do for a living? When did my family come to America? Who is that man wearing a military uniform in the photo I found in the old trunk in the attic and how am I related? What part did my relatives possibly play in historical events? These questions are some of the pieces of the large puzzle called genealogy. As with any puzzle, the pieces can be put together in any order, but putting some pieces together first makes the whole puzzle easier to complete.
This three-part genealogy program led by Lara Grant, the Ripon Historical Society’s genealogist, will help participants take steps toward discovering their own family trees. All three parts will take place at the Ripon Public Library. In part two, participants will learn more about the resources available at the Ripon Public Library and the Ripon Historical Society. Special focus will be given to Ancestry Library Edition, as it is a helpful new resource at the library. A more detailed look at online sources will be discussed in part three in May.
Limited class size. Must call 920-748-6160 to register.
