Two programs are coming up. I'll be presenting "Introduction to Genealogy and Family Research" in at least 2 locations in the coming months. First, at Wilbraham Public Library, a basic "Intro" program will take place in four sessions, one per month beginning November 19th. The second and more comprehensive program will be held at YELLOW HOUSE COMMUNITY CENTER for LEARNING on a weekly basis beginning Thursday, January 17th 2013 and continuing for at least 5 and possibly 6 weeks. The curriculum for Yellow House has been submitted and is awaiting approval but will include census records, vital records, interviewing relatives, becoming a "genealogical detective", soundex calculations, name variations, interviewing relatives effectively and will include individual assistance with pedigree charts and family group sheets.
Each of these are designed to open up into a more advanced sessions which may involve computer labs with hands on research by individual participants and designed around the needs of those who want to continue into deeper research strategies.
I'll be updating my web site at www.oldbones.co to include these latest additions. Feel free to comment and let me know if you're interested in joining either of the groups!
