EVENT CANCELLED DUE TO ILLNESS AND WILL BE RESCHEDULED.
Are your ancestors from Maryland? Then a genealogy research trip to the Maryland Archives should be in your future. Although we will not be taking a trip to the Archives, we will discuss how to do preliminary research before your trip to make the most of your time there, what records you can find at the Archives and what records are available on their website. We'll also go over the basics of a research trip for travel to this and/or other repositories. This class will be in lecture format but participants are encouraged to bring their laptops so they can follow along. Sign up online or call.
Susan Fabian started researching her family tree in 1992 and has never stopped. She has been a member of Ancestry.com for 19 years and is now a beta tester for their site. In 2016 she submitted her DNA to Ancestry.com and learned so much about genetic genealogy that she started helping others figure out their biological connections and build their family trees.
Susan volunteers for Search Angels, a non-profit organization that pairs experienced genealogists with adoptees and those of uncertain parentage and since joining last fall has helped 11 people find their biological families. She also volunteers for From the Page, a genealogy document transcription website and is a volunteer contributor to Find-A-Grave enumerating and photographing local cemeteries and gravestones.
