Annual Fall Genealogy Conference

Join us for our annual fall conference to be held virtually on October 16th from 10 to 4.
We have three talks by experts in their areas about: Moses Hazen's 2d Canadian Regiment in the American Revolution, VT in the Civil War, and the use of artificial intelligence to translate handwritten French-Canadian records. Visit our website, www.vtgenlib.org for the schedule, for detailed descriptions of the presentations and to register. Register by the 15th.

Upcoming Classes:

Solving More Mysteries with Documents and DNA - Oct. 23, 2021

As veteran genealogist Michael Dwyer takes us through four new case studies, including recent additions to his mt DNA line, he underscores one of the most important characteristics of research: diligence. Practicing genetic genealogy is not a one-shot deal. A single test with one company marks a starting point as Michael's examples will reveal.

Unlocking the Secrets of Your Family's 19th Century Photos - Oct. 30

Do you have a box or a scrapbook of old photographs in your closet? Or maybe just one or two old photos – with vague guesses as to whom they may be photos of? Perhaps this talk can help you out. Before we can discover who the people are in those old photos, we have to know what we are looking at. So, in this talk, we will learn from Sharon Flaherty about the different photographic methods used in the 19th century and when they were used. We will also learn how fashion styles are clues to a person's identity.

VT Genealogy Library classes will be held on Zoom on Saturdays from noon to 1:30. The cost is $10.00. To learn more, and to register for the classes visit www.vtgenlib.org. You can also visit our Facebook page or call at 802-871-5647.
