Getting Started on Your Family Tree

Thursday, February 18, 2010
10 a.m.

Ever wondered where you got your stubborn streak, or whether that old family story about being descended from royalty is really true? Charlotte Bocage of the Southern California Genealogical Society (SCGS) will help us get started in genealogy. She will share resources that are available both online and through the SCGC, and provide a simple visual plan of attack to find your roots and organize your genealogical information. All that’s required is your curiosity.

Charlotte Bocage has over forty years of genealogy experience. She is a full-time genealogist, lecturer, author and Louisiana specialist. She serves on the Board of Directors, as a volunteer librarian, and also as Education Chair for the Southern California Genealogical Society which has been serving the community since 1964. Located in Burbank, the society maintains an extensive genealogy library for the public, and also provides help with research on-line.

Adult Connections is a new program being offered at the Crowell Public Library on the third Thursday of the month. Enjoy coffee, donuts and a new topic of interest to an adult audience each month. Upcoming “explorations” may include gardening, digital cameras, de-cluttering, or any other topic of general interest.
