Getting Started on Your Family History
Saturday, October 21 from 2:00-3:30pm
Space is limited - sign up via email (westfordpubliclibrary@gmail.com) or phone (802-878-5639).

Join us on Saturday, October 21, and learn how to start uncovering your family history. Lynn Johnson, from the Vermont Genealogy Library, will help you learn best practices for conducting sound research as she explains different types of records, their value, where to find them, both online and in local repositories, and how to assess each piece of information to make sure it fits. Using examples from her family research, Lynn will also outline mistakes that can derail your progress and provide tips to help you avoid them.

Lynn Johnson became fascinated by the stories of her ancestors and how their lives fit into history. Lynn has taught elementary school and worked in a bookstore.

This class was originally advertised as catering to kids - but it is now just catering to beginners. Families are still welcome to attend, but it will be geared towards adults starting their family searches.
