Are there stories that have been passed down in your family for
which you would like to learn the truth? Genealogy research can
answer your questions. And, learning about best practices and new
techniques can make it even more enjoyable.

Title: Working The Censuses to Make The Most of Details
Description: US Censuses were taken every 10 years
(or 5 years in some states). This every 10 year snapshot holds many clues to your ancestor's lives,
beyond just names & locations. We will use research programs to find these valuable resources to
delve deeper to find more details and use them to start building your family tree. From there, we will discuss how to use what you have learned from censuses to build details of your ancestor's life from other resources. Handouts will be provided to help you in your research. The class is geared toward beginners but intermediate researches are bound to pick up some tips. This class is offered In-Person only. Registration #185502-00
