Beginning Your Family Research With Casey Zahn

Description: Sometimes the hardest thing is to find out about your family’s history. You may have heard a story from your parents or grandparents but you don’t know how to discover more information about the story. Perhaps they arrived from a small town in Europe with only the clothes on their back? The challenge of researching your family is not finding the documents – it is the new stories that you uncover!

Come and learn how easy it is to research your family. Casey Zahn’s areas of expertise include beginning research, web site resources, researching census records, newspaper resources and immigration.

A Kosher lunch will be served and there is a suggested donation of $5.00 per person.
