This presentation will cover the available genealogy resources at VSARA, how to contact us, and ways to request records.
This class will be held in-person at the library, at 57 River Road, Essex from 10:30 to noon. It will also be available as a recording after the class. The cost is $10.00. Please visit https://www.vtgenlib.org/upcoming-class-list-2/#genealogy-resources-at-the-vsara to register.
