Kathi Ciskowski will lead a two-session course, “My Back Pages,” that will focus on a few simple ways to get started in the search for your ancestors.
The study of genealogy and family history allows us all to be time travelers. Although we are all truly individuals, our lives are shaped by those who came before us and by the times in which they lived.
In this course we will focus on free, easily available resources and organizational techniques in order to get started on this very interesting pursuit, including the Library’s database, ancestry.com.
The classes will be held Wednesdays, September 22 and 29, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Participants are asked to bring a laptop computer if possible, their Orcas Island Library card, and the full name of a United States relative living between 1910 and 1930 for research purposes.
Class size is limited to 12 students. The $15 enrollment fee covers both sessions.
I have started search with ancestry.com – but not followed through.
Am I enrolled, or is the session filled?
Stop by the library and enroll there. They have a sign up sheet and I don’t think it is filled yet.
