It’s your time! Do you have research you’d like to share? Have you hit a brick wall? Do you have a genealogical question you’re having a hard time answering? Join fellow genealogy enthusiasts for this family history focused roundtable discussion.
Fanny Fern attended Adams Female Academy in East Derry before becoming a renowned author. We’ll take a close look at the history of the Adams Female Academy and then use our genealogical skills to see what else we can unearth about Fanny Fern—in Derry and Beyond.
Maps can be a rich resource for genealogical research. Not only do some maps show names of the property owners and help us confirm time and place, but they can also give depth and context to our ancestor’s lives at a local level. Join us for a look at some of our favorite collections, including the library’s new subscription to the Proquest Sanborn Maps collection.
The 1950 Census was released on April 1st, but is currently being indexed. We’ll share skills on how to navigate and search the census using maps and browsing capabilities. We’ll also cross reference other census years to see what each decade has to offer. If you’re curious about the 1950 census or if it’s been a while since you’ve looked closely at the history of the U.S. Census, this is for you!
Are you interested in family history but aren’t sure how to begin? Join us for a crash course in genealogy. We’ll discuss research methodology and useful databases to get you started on your quest.
