At the end of the program, there will also be grand prize drawings. Register in Adult Services at the Main Library or at any branch location. Then join Bvenitta Williams as she tells us how to use family stories and information we already have to make a family tree. You will learn how to fill out a pedigree chart, what goes on a family group sheet, how to research birth, marriage and death dates, as well as how to use the U.S. Population Census to discover your family history.
Every family has a story to tell.
This program will give you a new perspective of your family as they lived in the past. You will learn how to gather stories from living relatives to put together an oral history of your own family. This is the first step in genealogy. She will be joining us to share her knowledge about the best and safest way to do this. Maxine will discuss the history of candle making, as well as the different types of wax, molds, and wicks.
