This session will explore the basics of land research. What’s So Special About Special Collections? Public and private libraries hold genealogical treasures in their special collections. Learn about the types of materials you can find in special collections, how to go about finding them, and how to use them in your genealogical research. Cite Your Sources! Keeping records of where we find information about our ancestors is an important, but often neglected, aspect of genealogy. The presentation will provide an overview of source citations, including a discussion of the purposes of source citations, basic formats, and some tricks to make the task easier! Researching Military Records Online and at the National Archives There are an abundance of military records for wars in which your ancestor may have fought. Learn what information those records contain and where to find them. DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO WOODWARD PARK REGIONAL LIBRARY |
