Meeting Room

Ever wanted to do genealogy research? Here is your opportunity to learn from some veteran genealogy experts. This session is for beginners and will give you the information you need to get started.

Join us for an informative and useful session on how to get started on your own genealogy projects. The co-presenters, Cheryl Herrmann and Lyn Martin, have spent most of their lives doing genealogy research and helping others. Herrmann has been doing this for five decades and has published over 100 genealogy books and Martin was the long-time special collections librarian at Willard Library. This session is designed for beginners and should give participants the building block. Databases like Ancestry and MyHeritage will be discussed. Let your genealogy journey begin!
