The Odenton Regional Library (formerly West County Library) has invited me back for more talks in the Spring.
Be looking for a survey so that you can help choose the topics I will present.
“A Weekend of Genealogy” offers a weekend of genealogical research activities centered on the U.S. Federal Census and Internet searches. The book includes how to find the census records for your ancestors and what to do with them. It demonstrates how to build Google searches to hunt for your family’s history. It also acquaints you with other Internet search engines. There are activities you can do before and after the weekend.
The book contains hints, websites, and search terms useful for your own research.
You can buy it at one of my talks for $12.00 (tax is included).
This Saturday is the Family History Festival at the Maryland State Archives.
There are activities for the whole family.

New talks have been scheduled for January and February at the Odenton Regional Library (formerly known as the West County Library). The topics are Introduction to Genealogy and Census Research.
It was great to meet and speak with so many people at the Census table last night! Hopefully you will be using census records, both population and non-population schedules in your research.
