Program Description

Event Details

Researching ancestry can be challenging. Where do you start? Which of the 60,000 websites will give you the information you want? With the help of the FVRL Virtual Genealogy Club, led by experienced genealogist John Lake, you can join your neighbors in learning how to explore your past. Any level of experience is welcome, from the long-time genealogist to those interested in starting a search.  

This month will be an introduction to genealogy -- Genealogy 101.

Future topics:
September - A review of the best internet sites for genealogy
October - Top 10 guidelines for quality genealogy
November - Maximizing the information in a Census
December - Proving family stories with physical evidence and church records
