Garvey Senior Center, Leonardtown, Maryland
Getting Started With Genealogy
Interest in Family History research has exploded in recent years. As
part of the Maryland Humanities Council Speakers Bureau Program,
Historian Michael Dixon, using a how-to approach, gives the beginner,
as well as, the seasoned family historian, step-by-step instructions
in genealogical research. Mr. Dixon will introduce essential
techniques, discuss types of family history records, and identify
useful research facilities. His program concludes with a discussion
of how the family's story fits into the larger context of history.
"Tag, You're It; Members' Stories"
Refreshment Theme: "Berries Jubilee" - Bring your favorite dessert of
berries to share with your fellow genealogist.
*Remember - The St. Mary's County Genealogical Society Follows The St.
Mary's County Department of Aging when the county closes buildings.*
