SAVE THE DATES!

The Medina Library will be hosting 3 separate genealogy and local history events this fall.

First will be the Genealogy Lock-in on Friday, September 22. For those who have never been to a Lock-In, it is an after-hours event where we explore methods of genealogical research. Members of the Medina County Genealogical Society and Library staff members are also on hand to help you with your research. Light refreshments and DOOR PRIZES are provided. The Lock-In runs from 6:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.

  

John Sabol 

                                                                                       

John Sabol, author and  a North East Ohio expert on eastern European genealogy, will be discussing how to Untangle Your Family Roots.

Learn about the 1940 and other U.S. Census
records at the Genealogy Lock-In on 22 September.

Later that evening,  I will be offering a session on how to get the most out of searching U.S. Census Records.

You can sign up for the Lock-In at this link.  Remember, the Lock-in is on 22 September.

Then on 21 October, I will be teaching a class on Ancestry Library Edition in the Library's Computer Lab. Seating for this class is limited so sign up early. Learn how to optimize your searches on the library subscription version of the most popular genealogy database ANCESTRY.

On 31 October, join Lisa Rienerth to learn how to research your home's history and previous owners and find out Who is Haunting Your House? Local author, Michelle Belanger, will be on hand to discuss paranormal activity in your home.
