For those new to the search for their French-Canadian roots Jane Duchesneau Whitmore will provide an overview of resources to begin building your family tree.

The Value of Newspapers in Genealogy Research
March 5, 2022

Maybe you thought you would look at newspapers to add to your genealogy records "someday", but Lynn Johnson would like to show you why you shouldn't wait. Using examples from her research she will share how newspaper articles can help you break through brick walls, make connections and learn more about the character and lives of your ancestors. She will include surprising finds in obituaries, as well as the importance of other types of articles. Lynn will also show you where you might access this material for free, or at a much lower cost, before you sign up for subscription sites. Classes at the Vermont Genealogy Library will be Zoom webinars from 10:30 to noon. Cost is $10.00. Please visit our website, www.vtgenlib.org for additional details and for registration.
