Library Labs Workshop - Ancestry Database

By



Description: Did grandma really get married in Las Vegas? When did my ancestors first set foot in the U.S.? When and where did they first settle in Wisconsin? Am I really a distant cousin of crazy Bill? If you are curious about aspects of your family's past and have never before used our Ancestry (Library Edition) database, come to this introductory session.

Bring with you the names, dates, places of birth, marriage, and death of some of your ancestors (or older living relatives), and find out whether you can discover anything new about them or track their (and thus your) roots further back. 

Intended Audience: Faculty/Staff and Students 

Date & Time: Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.

Location: LRC 316

Presenter: Axel Schmetzke, Coordinator of Instruction

The workshop is free, but we would like you to register here. We hope to see you there!
