Genealogy Drop-in Help Session

Have some questions about your genealogy research?

Please bring your genealogy questions and a laptop/tablet for assistance from a member of the Englewood Genealogical Society! This session will offer assistance to several people. It is not an individual appointment.

Please also bring family names and known locations, along with birth, marriage and death dates will kickstart your research. We often recommend to start with you and your immediate family.

Learn how to research and document your ancestors using online genealogical resources. No prior research experience is necessary.
