EXPLORING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY

Family History and Genealogy Workshop

Saturday, February 23, 2008  8:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Our third annual Family History Workshop, held in February of 2007, was a huge success. Although still in the planning stages, our 2008 workshop is scheduled for February 23.

Valerie Frey, an archivist from the Georgia Department of Archives and History, will speak to the group. She is working on a book that will explore home food ways and serve as a "how-to" guide for families who wish to preserve food traditions, and offer recipe examples.

Last year, one of our presenters, Terry Barton, president of World Families.net, talked about DNA as a genealogical tool. A Canton resident and museum volunteer, followed his advice and was able to trace his family back to Europe. This is an interesting success story and he will share the details with the group during a panel discussion on ways to explore family history.   

The workshop fee is $17.  Reservations are required.

Call us at 770-720-5970 for information and reservations.
