The Whitfield-Murray Historical Society is partnering
with the Chatsworth-Murray County Library to offer a FREE Beginning Genealogy
workshop for area residents on Tuesday, August 4 and Wednesday, August 5. The workshops will focus on research specific
to Murray County and participants can attend either or both days.
Tuesday things get underway at 9 a.m. at the Library.
The
first hour will be spent discussing various local resources that could help
researchers find more information about Murray Countians of the past--unusual,
out-of-print, or unique publications in the collections of the Historical
Society. The session will then move to the Murray County Courthouse where
beginners will learn how to use the various public records available there. The
session will conclude around noon.
Wednesday morning from 10-12 there will be a special session
at the Library about using ancestry.com and internet resources for research.
Historical Society members Tim Howard and Marcia Kendrick
will be leading the workshop. The
Library is located on Old Ellijay Road across from the Murray Medical
Center. For more information, contact
the library at 706-695-4200.
[Event dates: August 4-5, 2015]
