Study Your Family's Past At Lacey Library

LACEY, NJ — Curious about what your ancestors were like? Want to know how accurate your family tree is? Join genealogist Debbie Hadley for her presentation of “10 Best Tips for Finding Your Ancestors” at five Ocean County Library branches in November and December, including Lacey.

At the 11 a.m. on Dec. 4 presentation, Hadley will go over how to begin studying your family’s past, how to know if your family tree is correct, and how to find the records likely to offer answers for your research questions. She’ll use examples from her studies to illustrate 10 concepts that you’ll learn.

The Jackson resident is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and the National Genealogy Society. Her expertise in New Jersey and Northeastern family histories springs from her own family discoveries which she shares on her Bring Out Yer Dead website. Hadley’s blogs have entertained and educated followers for more than 10 years.
