As part of the upcoming Semiquincentennial (250th) anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, we are offering an "America 250 Genealogy" series to help you uncover your family's history. The series can be taken as a whole, or in individual sections. We will focus on different aspects of genealogy research and provide workshops where you can visit the museum to get help when and where needed. This series is in partnership with the Dakota County Historical Society, the Minnesota Genealogical Society, and the Daughters of the American Revolution.Have you wanted to research your family history, but you’re not sure how to start? Or maybe you are fairly new to genealogy and would appreciate some pointers like how to organize all the information you are finding. In her presentation, “Genealogy Smart Start, Things I Wish I’d Known,” Elizabeth Williams Gomoll, CG, will show you how to get started and avoid making some of the mistakes she made as a newbie genealogist.
Elizabeth Williams Gomoll, CG®, is a professional board-certified genealogist. She is in her fourth term as president of the Northland Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists, was co-editor for Generations quarterly journal for 10 years, and served several terms as a Director for the Minnesota Genealogical Society.
