SUMMARY:Final Footprints - Discover Family History Through Death Records
DESCRIPTION:In death\, we leave our final footprints in the public record. \nFamily Tree researchers seek obituaries and death certificates to learn dates of death and places of burial for their ancestors. \nThere are many other places to find our family’s “final footprints”\, however. \nThe “Final Footprints” genealogy class will look at alternative sources for death records and demonstrate how to get the most information from a state-issued death certificate. \nThe program is free but registration is required. Please register here.

SUMMARY:Love and Marriage Genealogy Class

SUMMARY:Coming to America - Immigrant Research
DESCRIPTION:At the beginning of every American family is an immigrant ancestor. This person may be in the remote past\, or just one generation back. America was created by immigrants…people who came here from someplace else.  They\, and their descendants\, have built the incredible civilization that continues to draw immigrants from all over the world. \nFor people engaged in family tree research\, finding immigrant ancestors is the ultimate challenge\, because we want to know where our people came from…before America.  Immigrant ancestry research can be difficult\,  but it offers real rewards: the chance to explore our Old World roots\, and perhaps discover family connections in other countries. \nIn this class\, we’ll  look at the history of immigration in America\, and give some tips for finding your immigrant ancestors.
