Beginning Genealogy Class - Saturday, February 10, 2018

Beginning Genealogy is the topic of our Saturday, February 10, 2018 class. The class starts at 10:30 AM and goes until 12 noon, the cost is $10 and it is in our conference room at the Vermont Genealogy Library. A multi-page handout will be included in the class.

Genealogy can seem overwhelming to those who are just getting started. In this introduction to the subject Sheila Morris will discuss records, techniques and best practices for conducting sound research. This talk is aimed at beginners and at those who have already started but are still relatively inexperienced. Sheila will also cover how to organize the records and images that result from your research efforts.

Bring as much information as you can about your grandparents; births, marriages, deaths and where they lived. After the talk our volunteers can help you get started using our many resources.
