Participants
will examine census records from the years 1850-1930, which reveal valuable
information. There will be discussion about on-line resources: which ones are free,
and which ones are not, where to find vital records, probate records, passenger
lists, and naturalization papers, among other things.
Programs at the library are free, open to the
public, and handicapped accessible.
