Genealogy Lunch and Learn: So Many Newspapers, So Little Time
Thursday, February 19th, 2026 at 12:00pm at Main (321 Main Street)
We invite you to join us for our monthly Genealogy Lunch and Learn, where we delve deeper into family history topics. Each month, we will explore a variety of topics to give you additional tools to find your ancestors.
This month, we are learning about the value of newspapers in genealogy research. Newspapers can give you more than just birth, marriage, and death information about your ancestors. It may reveal their activities and offer hints about their character. You may find both direct and collateral relatives, find FANs (family, associates, neighbors), and so much more. Learn tips about both how and where to search.
Please bring your own lunch. Water and dessert will be provided.
This program is suitable for adults and teens.
