Event Details

Family History Hunters is an informal meeting for genealogists of all levels of experience. Led by genealogy specialist Joan Wood, along with Archives volunteer Janet Daniels, the group meets monthly to discuss tips and strategies for researching family history. Each meeting begins with a short introduction to a particular topic followed by a discussion where members are welcome to talk about their research successes and challenges. Whether you are a veteran researcher, or just beginning your family history, please join us.

This month's focus: New England Research.  Do you have ancestors from New England?  Many of us do. The Stewart Bell Jr Archives has a new website available to researchers at the library. From the New England Historical Genealogical Society, AmericanAncestors.org provides access to 1.4 billion+ searchable records. Come learn more about the website.
