The Worcester Chapter of the Massachusetts Society of Genealogists, in conjunction with the Northborough Free Library, will be presenting a FREE ‘Beginning Genealogy Program.’ The program will run from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 23, 2011. An informal ‘question/answer’ session will be held during the ‘bring your own’ brown-bag lunch.
This course will show students how to begin researching their family tree and filling in the branches. It will include gathering, organizing, recording, and documenting data. Students will learn to conduct oral interviews; search through primary and secondary sources, such as vital, census, land, probate, military, and immigration records, as well as compiled genealogies; use the computer and the internet to find and record family information; and analyze the accumulated data.
This will be an interesting and fun-filled opportunity with handouts and charts to help you begin this exciting and addictive hobby. We look forward to seeing YOU there!
