Genealogy Research Night and special presentation,
Wednesday June 12, 6:00 – 9:00
pm,
Urbana Free Library archives department on the second floor
Interested in untangling your family roots? Whether your kin
settled in Champaign County, somewhere else in Illinois, across America, or on
the other side of the ocean, extensive resources are tucked away on the second
floor of the Urbana Free Library in the archives department. Specially trained librarians, computer
genealogical databases, and a large collection of print materials are available
during archives hours, and are free for the public for researching their
ancestry.
But if you have reached a “brick wall” in your research, or
simply don’t know how to get started in genealogy, don’t despair. On the second Wednesday evening of each
month, the Champaign County Genealogical Society volunteers are on hand to
assist you in constructing your family tree.
They can point you to useful resources to help further your genealogy
discoveries.
Additionally, a special presentation is part of each
Genealogy Research Night. At the June 12
Research Night, Eric Fair will share information about scanning photos, a
valuable tool for reconstructing your heritage.
His part of the evening begins at 7 pm.
No need to sign up or call in advance.
Just show up, ready to dig into your family roots.
