Winding Your Way Through the Web: Popular Sites for Genealogists Presentation The internet can be an overwhelming place for beginning genealogists. Which websites are reliable? Which will help you discover when great-grandpa was born or how he came to the United States? On Saturday, March 22nd at 2PM, Ginger Frere, reference librarian in the Genealogy and Local History Section at the Newberry Library and co-director of ChicagoAncestors.org, will introduce novice genealogists to several websites that will launch their cyberspace searches in the right direction.
This program is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Please register in person or by phone (708-453-4484).
