October is designated in many U.S. States as "Family History Month." This month, local resident, Donna Wetzel has created a genealogy display at the Crown Point Library.
Celebrate your family history and begin to create your family tree. Begin by talking to your family, examine family scrapbooks and photo albums and try online resources like ANCESTRY.COM. which can be accessed for free from the Crown Point Library. This database contains more than 4 billion names. It has coverage of the United States and the United Kingdom, including census, vital, military, court, and immigration records, as well as record collections from Canada, Europe, and other areas.
For additional tips, ask the Reference Librarian at the Crown Point or Winfield Branch Library.
