On Wednesday, June 6, 2018, from 12:00nn – 2:00p.m., Signal Hill members will assist the ELA 55 + Senior Center in conducting a genealogy workshop. Attendees are asked to be able to provide information about the most recent three generations of their family, e.g., themselves, their parents, and their grandparents, and a tablet or computer so you can learn along side a researcher. Signal Hill volunteers will show how to look for records, Google search tips, provide a worksheet, and pedigree chart to get you started. The club charge is $5 for members and $10for non-members. The workshop is at Ela Twp Community Center, 380 Surryse Rd., Lake Zurich. For more information, call 847-438-9160 and ask for Susan Dillon.
