Genealogy Short Classes

Have you heard about our Genealogy Short Classes?  Well....let me tell you about them.  GSC are being scheduled for Thursday evenings in the Genealogy & Local History Dept. from 6:00 - 7:00.  Currently, the classes are every other week.  The idea is to focus on just one topic per class and provide time for questions.  The schedule for April and May  2019 is as follows:

• Thursday, April 11 - Travel into History (Take a tour of the Genealogy & Local History Department. Learn about the book collection, the surname files, microfilmed newspapers, and the online resources available)
• Thursday,  April 25 -  Civil War in Howard County (Howard County’s involvement in the Civil War)
• Thursday, May 9 - Tell Your Stories (learn to write a narrative or give a presentation about your ancestor).
• Thursday, May 25- Scanners (earn how to use scanners to preserve your documents).
