"My great, great, great grandmother was born in Vermont and I want to know everything you have about her." GASP!!... That statement sends a shiver of panic through every librarian who has ever heard it. If you’re one of those or you’d like to be well-armed when you DO face the question, this workshop is for you. You will receive an introduction to the basics of genealogical research and record keeping, followed by presentations to familiarize you with the
GENEALOGICAL RESOURCES AT THE DEPT. OF LIBRARIES, VERMONT STATE ARCHIVES, AND THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Meg Page, from the VT Dept. of Libraries, will lead the introduction to genealogy portion and will fill you in on what resources for genealogical research the DOL has. Tanya Marshall, Deputy State Archivist, and Paul Carnahan, VT Historical Society Librarian, will introduce you to the parts of their collections that are of particular interest to people doing genealogical research.
