New Genealogy Interest Group
|
Due to digitization, the popularity of ancestry.com and television shows like "Who Do You Think You Are?", genealogy is a popular hobby in America.  Family history is personal and sometimes emotional. Genealogy researchers may be overwhelmed by the amount of information available, frustrated by elusive records or simply looking for alternate sources. They look to librarians for direction.
Together we will stay ahead of the curve by sharing
Genealogy resources and programming ideas.
