Ever wonder about your family tree? Are you the family historian trying to sort
through great aunts and uncles, cousins, neighborhoods, and World War II
service tales?
Ancestry Library Edition delivers billions of
records in census data, vital records, directories, photos, etc. It includes
records from North America, United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia, with more
countries added on a regular basis. With the addition of the 1940 census records,
World War II draft registration cards, naturalization records, passports, and passenger
lists you don’t need a huge amount of information to begin a fascinating
journey tracing your family’s roots. Ancestry
is the world’s largest genealogy research tool and it is available on the
public computers in the Ridgefield Library.
We are offering two programs this month on using
Ancestry: one for students in grades 8-12 on Wednesday, March 18 from 3:30-5:00
PM led by Gayle Pulley, Head of Children’s Services, and the other for adults
on Thursday, March 24 from 1:00-2:30 PM led by Adult Services Librarian Mary
Lee. Both groups will meet in the Library’s Donofrio Technology Center. Please
register on our website’s Events Calendar. Get started researching your family
history!
