Do you know who your ancestors are? Want to learn how to begin your family research? Join us for this introduction to researching your family history.

Introduction to Genealogy is for someone who has very little or no experience conducting family history or genealogy research. Learn more about how to get started with your family history research with our genealogy librarian, Caroline Huguet.

In this program we examine both Ancestry Library Edition and HeritageQuest to learn how to navigate each database. We will learn also where and how to start searching and what proof means to genealogical research, as well as looking at some forms that will be helpful as you start your genealogy journey.
