Researching institutionalized ancestors can be a real task and can require close research at the local level to unearth clues. Whether your ancestor was at the state hospital, a children’s home, a prison, or another institution, the path you take to research them can be well off the typical databases. What can you expect to find, if anything, and where should you begin to look? Join us for a case study as we track one ancestor from the institution to the archives.
Bring along a fun find or a roadblock or just come to listen. This roundtable discussion is a supportive environment for all skill levels.
Welcome to the Industrious Derry Cemetery Tour, where we’ll take a walk and explore the workers of Derry’s past. Join Erin Robinson, of the Derry Public Library, and TJ Cullinane, of the Derry Heritage Commission, as we discover the resting places of blacksmiths, loggers, milliners, teachers, undertakers, and more. We’ll keep an eye out for occupational symbols and uncover the history of Derry’s shoe industry as we stroll.
