Are you interested in Genealogy but not sure how to get started? Wonder which resources out there are reliable and which ones are not worth the time or money? SAIL member MJ Jones has graciously agree to lead a three-session series about beginning Genealogy.
While MJ stresses that she is not an expert or professional genealogist, she does bring experience to share and can very ably lead the discussion on how to get started in digging up your roots!
Some of the topics will include reliable sources and sites, DNA testing, census data, and more. And be forewarned—there will be homework! Each session will build on the last, so for the most benefit, plan to attend all three.The meeting room is on the first floor of thelibrary and there is a parking lot just off of the lower entrance. In order to assure that there’s plenty of time for individual questions and discussion, attendance will be limited.
All three sessions will be held from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. at the Monona Library located at 1000 Nichols Road.
Session 1—Monday, September 10; Session 2—Monday, September 17; Session 3—Monday, September 24 Call SAIL at 230-4321 or email info@sailtoday.org as soon as possible to reserve your spot.
