Help for Family Tree Research in Second Annual Seminar

Researching your family tree can be a lonely vocation: just you, your ancestors, and lists of shuffled names and dates. Help us help you! Come to the second annual genealogy seminar at the Pinckney Community Public Library, Putting the Puzzle Together. This full-day workshop will take place Saturday, April 16, 2016, at the Library. It features respected speaker Katherine R. Willson. She is expert at the historical population trends in Michigan that can challenge even seasoned family tree researchers. She will present a series of four selected talks including “Filling out Your Family Tree without Breaking the Bank,” “Little-Known and Rarely-Used Google Resources and Search Tips,” “Seeking Dead People: Getting the Most from Cemetery Research Online & in Person,” and the intriguing “They Didn't All Come through Ellis Island.” No matter where you are in your research – just starting out, stumped at a missing name, or expanding to new generations – information provided through this seminar will help you out. The day’s schedule includes planned discussion sessions and networking breaks. Bring your questions and the family names you are seeking. Ample handouts will ensure you can find the reference information again. Advance tickets $20.00, $25.00 at the door. Light refreshments are included; box lunch available for $7.00.
