Genealogy Workshop: 17th & 18th Centtury Research

A new special topic genealogy class for the fall - research techniques for looking deeper into our region's past!

The Historical Society of Montgomery County announces a new special topic genealogy class for this fall - one evening only Tuesday, October 12, 2019, 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m..

Montgomery County was formed out of Philadelphia County in 1784. But frequently researchers are looking much deeper into our region’s past to find the histories of their houses, their communities and their families. This workshop will help those who are tracking down the stories of the 17th and 18th Centuries within the area we now know as Montgomery County, PA!
