| A treasure trove of genealogical material is available in books, manuscripts, and other print resources. However, much of this material is scattered in libraries and archives throughout the country. WorldCat and ArchiveGrid are online resources that allow you to search many of these repositories to identify and locate materials on the families and topics you are researching. Presented by Karen Fortin. |

Exploring Occupations in Genealogy Research |
|
Our ancestors' jobs can reveal so much about their lives. This class explores the world of ancestor occupations--what our ancestors did for a living, where to find that information, and what to do with it once found. Presented by Susan Styx.

Saturday, 30 March 2024 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM Family History Assistance Day |
|
| Family History Assistance Day is Back! This is a day where you bring your research notes as a starting point, and with the assistance of a volunteer researcher, you explore the internet to hunt for data to further fill out your family tree, work on that brick wall, extend your search, or just get started. This is a great opportunity for those just starting out in their genealogy research, as well as for experienced researchers who just need another set of eyes to help move through a pesky research question. Volunteers will also be available in the Genealogy Center on the 2nd floor to introduce you to our print collection and assist in the use of that material by giving tours, as well as introduce you to the computer databases that are available, and show how to use them. For those who wish to participate via the internet, you can do so using Zoom. You need to register ahead of time (for Zoom only), but you will be served in the order that you log into the meeting. This hybrid (in-person and online) event begins at 11 am in Jenkins Room A at the Largo Public Library and runs to 4 pm, on a first-come first-served basis. This event is free and open to the public. Even if you can’t make it, tell your friends, especially those who are new to genealogy. Genealogy research is most successful when shared, and this event provides that opportunity. |
