Beginners’ Genealogy Workshop by Judith R. Frazin, former JGSI president
Sunday, October 25 - 1:30 p.m. at the Northbrook Public Library, 1201 Cedar Lane

Learn how to research your family’s history step by step. After an introduction, which explains how to get started, how to interview relatives, and how to use certain important internet and print resources, the workshop will focus on which records are available, where they can be accessed and what information they may contain about your family. The talk will focus on U.S. resources with an emphasis on Chicago research sites. However, suggestions will also be given about where to find similar records in other cities so that the information in this workshop can be applied to research in other places.
