On Saturday, November 5 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Brooks Memorial Library's Community Room on the 2nd floor, the Windham County Genealogy Group will take on researching "brick-wall" ancestors and will touch on DNA-based research. Attendees are encouraged to wear masks.

Group leaders Wayne Blanchard and Jerry Carbone encourage interested persons to "please let us know in advance about a person you are researching that you want help with. It needs to be a person about whom you already have some information. Perhaps you are trying to find out more details about the person's life or about their family relationships. Choose people that we can share with the rest of the group. We would like to be able to send out research questions to the group before the meeting." Wayne and Jerry can be reached at windhamcountygig@gmail.com

The Windham County (VT.) Genealogy Interest Group is an informal organization whose members are dedicated to genealogy education, research, and best practices. Meetings are held every other month on Zoom. Many of these sessions were recorded and are available on the WCGIG YouTube Channel, which cover topics as: improving your search results in FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com; using family tree software; navigating the crowd sources cemetery database, Find A Grave; using land records for genealogy research; using AmericanAncestors.org, the database of the New England Historic Genealogical Society; finding people in the newly released 1950 U.S. Census.
