LEARN HOW TO RESEARCH
YOUR FAMILY HISTORY
AT LIBRARY PROGRAM
Have you ever wondered where your ancestors
came from? Are you curious about their
military service or medical history? Learn the basics of beginning your
family-history research at a special program, “Genealogy 101,” on Thursday,
July 25, beginning at 2:00 pm, in the Computer Lab at Fort Bend County
Libraries’ University Branch Library, 14010 University Blvd in Sugar
Land, on the UH campus.
Daniel
Sample, manager of the Genealogy and Local History Department at Fort Bend
County Libraries, will provide a basic introduction to many of the resources
that are available to the beginning genealogical researcher. Items that will be
introduced include print resources, materials that are available on microfilm,
and online tools such as the Ancestry.com and Heritage Quest USA databases.
The program is free and open to the
public. Seating is limited, however, and reservations are required. To register
online at the library’s website (www.fortbend.lib.tx.us), click on
“Calendar,” select “University Branch,” and find the program. Participants may
also register by calling the library at 281-633-5100, or by visiting the
library.
