FOR RELEASE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 14th, 2015.
“LIBRARY SCHOOL” FOR GENEALOGISTS
The ease of using the internet’s genealogy sites may have obscured the fact that there is a large storehouse of genealogical information collected by public libraries. Sara Scribner CG (Certified Genealogist, one of only two in WA), as a librarian for 44 years learned how to assist family historians in their research quests. She will share helpful tips and three little used, but very effective, research opportunities available free from public libraries: JSTOR, LibGuides, and Ask-A-Librarian. The public is invited to this monthly meeting of the Jefferson County Genealogical Society (JCGS) for this free presentation on Saturday, February 20, 9:30 a.m. in the Tri-Area Community Center located adjacent to the Chimacum Schools’ campus.
