Family History Month

October is National Family History Month! There are many ways to research your family tree, including library databases like HeritageQuest and Ancestry Library.

Print and online resources are handy for searching into past centuries and long ago generations, but what about more recent history? There are a lot of stories waiting to be told, and they're found in the memories of our living relatives. Learn how to get started with collecting and preserving your family's oral histories with a special program on Saturday, October 22, at the Main Library from 2-3 PM. Megan Dahle, founder of 1stpersonhistory.com, will share her expert tips, with some additional input from local genealogists. Come to share your own experiences, or get advice from others!

Call 367-8720 for more information.
