by Hope Siasoco 30 Apr '14

Dear library colleagues, We would like to invite you, your staff & board members, and your community to attend the third session of our four-part Genealogy Series called: "A Bridge to the Past" on SATURDAY, MAY 3RD at 10:30AM. (Sponsored by the Friends of the Pinckney Library.) This third session is entitled: WHAT ARE GENEALOGY WEBINARS?--During the first part of this session, our presenter will explain what webinars are and how genealogists and researchers can use them as a great tool for learning more about your family or local history. How to find useful webinars and how to participate in them will also be covered. During the second part of the program, participants are given time to work together and help with attendees' personal research questions or "brick walls" they might have encountered in their research. There will be time for group help and brainstorming during each session. These workshops are free to the general public and refreshments will be served. We ask, however, that attendees call in advance to register so that we have a good count for how many handouts to print. For more details on each of the workshop activities, check out our Facebook Information Page for "A Bridge to the Past": https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152331858088672&set=np.105108113.… To register, please contact the Pinckney Community Public Library at 734-878-3888 or visit our website, Facebook or follow us on Twitter.
