CANCELED!
January 21 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Due to potential inclement weather, our library has announced an early 6 PM closure tonight—forcing us to cancel our general meeting. Think of it as an unexpected family reunion that turned into a snowball fight, minus the fun. Rest assured, we’ll be back on track faster than you can compute the cousin connections between your 3rd gr-grandparents grandchild and your 4th-gr-grandparents child.
In the meantime, please stay tuned for the rescheduled date of Andrew’s enlightening talk, “Lessons Learned from my African American Genealogy Research: There is Something for Everybody.” We’re determined to get his expertise on our schedule later this year—weather permitting! We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we navigate these unseasonably icy waters.
Come join us with guest speaker Andrew Thompson as he discusses: Lessons Learned from my African American Genealogy Research: There is Something for Everybody In this presentation. Mr. Thompson will review the best practices and lessons learned during his discovery of over 50 enslaved relatives. These tips transcend the niche of AfricanAmerican Genealogy and will provide practical advice for researchers in all areas of Genealogy.
