Greenville Public Library
Genealogy
Workshop at Library
The Greenville Public Library genealogy specialist Carolyn Fisher will
host “Genealogy 101” on Tuesday April 24th at 2:00 p.m. to share her
journey of helping others delve into their past and the resources that
she uses to achieve success along the way. “Exploring your ancestry has
become a popular pastime as individuals strive to discover their
lineage,” she says.
Carolyn recently attended a workshop herself, the Miami County
Historical Society’s annual “Routes for Roots” again this year. It was
held at the Fort Piqua Plaza Conference Center in the grand ballroom
Saturday March 24th. Carolyn reported “It consisted of speakers
on genealogical subjects, vendors selling books, and door
prizes.”
Carolyn set up a booth to “let it be known we have a very nice
genealogy room” which is situated on the second floor of the
Library. Carolyn is in charge of a vast amount of material that
is available for research: census records, military records, family
histories, county and state histories, maps, local lore, special news
event archives, and decades of newspapers on microfilm. She can
find any item within minutes!
Patrons from all over the world either visit in person or call or write
for information which Carolyn can almost always provide. She is
also in charge of the display case in the Reference Room which
highlights a different interesting collection each month.
Join her the 24th for an interesting workshop! No reservations
needed and light refreshments will be served.
