In this one-on-one guided program, utilize the library's genealogy resources to discover information about your ancestors!

With Pathways to the Past, you can reserve one-on-one time with McCollough's genealogy specialist. Sit with a librarian and research your ancestors using Ancestry.com.

If your research reaches a dead-end, we can utilize other library resources to find more information that may not be available on Ancestry.

Need more time? Pathways to the Past is a recurring program, and you can book another session on the second or fourth Thursday of every month! Keep coming back until you're satisfied with the research we've accomplished.
