Public
Library Staff are invited to participate in the second in a series of genealogy
webinars, Finding Your African-American Ancestors on Monday, May 19th
at 10:30 a.m. Advance registration for this session is required –
please register on the Train Station.
This webinar is designed for North Carolina library staff and will
introduce research techniques for finding African-American ancestors during
slavery through the 1940 census. Topics will include free
African-Americans before 1865 and standard genealogical methodology.
Several strategies will be presented to help others who are beginning to
research their enslaved ancestors.
A link to the webinar will be emailed to registered participants
one week in advance of this session. The webinar will be recorded and
available on the State Library website for those unable to attend the live
session. This is an excellent training for personal and professional development--and the price is right!
