Anyone near Wilbraham, MA tonight is welcome to stop at the Wilbraham Public Library tonight. It's the 3rd in a 4 part series "Introduction to Genealogy". Each week there have been more and more participants so feel free to call the library at 413-596-6141 to make sure there'll be room! Based on the popularity, I can see that there just might be some future programs. The last in this series will be held February 11th where we'll work on individual pedigree charts and whatever other subjects may come up.
This series is "sponsored" by the Western Massachusetts Genealogy Society (WMGS) in an effort to help people who are interested in family research and encourage them to take part in courses such as these and introduce them to WMGS. Annual membership is only $20 and includes 10 monthly meetings held locally.
Over the full 4 sessions, we cover the basics of research, web sites (free and low-cost), definitions (soundex, vital records, etc), specific resources, naturalization, immigration, Ellis Island, name changes, spelling variations and "myth busting"!
Hopefully, some of you can make it tonight! See you there.
