Genealogy Hour In-Person

Genealogy Hour is a weekly opportunity to get assistance with your family history questions. Andrew will be available to help you navigate online resources on sites like Ancestry.com, scour the family history materials available in our collection, or help you identify where else you might be able to track down your ancestor’s information. Whether you are brand new to genealogical research or a seasoned genealogist, all are welcome at these weekly drop-in sessions.

To make the most of your visit, please try to arrive with your own laptop and any or all of the following information:

Dates and/or Locations of your Ancestor’s…
- Birth
- Marriage(s)
- Residence(s)
- Death
- (Approximations are better than nothing!)
Names of your Ancestor’s close relatives
- Parents
- Siblings
- Spouses
- Children
Maiden Names of any Female Ancestors

You can also get started by checking out our Genealogy Resources page!
