Discovering Your Roots

Beth Daugherty, our Genealogy Librarian, writes:

Genealogy is one of the most popular hobbies in the United States today. Central Library is planning more exciting programs on this topic in the near future, because of the great attendance and enthusiastic response to the four programs we presented last month.

Details about the new programs will be posted here soon. Until then, you can get a head start on climbing your own family tree by going to the Research Guide on the library’s home page (click the link in the “Library Services” section,) or stop by to browse the how-to books on the fourth floor.
