GENEALOGY SLAM!

Medina Library's Genealogy Team will travel to the Brunswick Library on November 3rd to present our 20th Genealogy Slam (previously titled the Genealogy Lock-In). Partnering with the Medina County Genealogical Society, we will be offering the same fun, same learning, and yes, there will be door prizes.

Come learn about these three wonderful genealogy resources:

 Internet Archive presented by Lisa Rienerth. If you haven't been using this site, you have truly been missing out. They are "building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, they provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, the print disabled, and the general public. Their mission is to provide Universal Access to All Knowledge."

Lauren Kuntzman, Manager of the soon-to-be Family and Local History Center at the Medina Library, will be talking about Geneanet. "Geneanet is a community of more than 3 million members who share their genealogical information for free: more than 6 billion individuals in the family trees, some digitized archival records, some family pictures, some indexes, all available through a powerful search engine, and a blog."

Come explore with me Medina County District Library's newest genealogy database, Fold3. This resource  specializes in U.S military records. With your library card you can get FREE access to this treasure trove.
