Program Description

Event Details

U.S. census records can offer you a window into your ancestors’ stories—and clues about new relatives to add to your family tree.  This lecture will focus on how to use U.S. census records to reconstruct your family history.  When searching for information about ancestors who lived in the United States, federal census records should be one of the very first sources you consult.

The first in an eight-part series of classes presented by Local History and Genealogy librarian Gwen Kelley.
