SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Genealogical Gold in New England Town Books and Reports
Sunday, October 5
2pm
The Genealogical Club and the Friends of the Weeks Memorial Library in Lancaster are sponsoring “Genealogical Gold in New England Town Books and Reports”. Robert Weir, a genealogical researcher, lecturer, and author, will present the program. He specializes in hard problems related to New England genealogy, from 1620 to the present. In his presentation he will examine two important, but underused, town-level resources, old town books and town annual reports and show how these resources may be able to solve problems that census and compiled vital records cannot. His talk will cover where to find these resources, how to interpret them, and how to use them to solve genealogical conundrums.
The program is open and free to all interested persons. Questions can be addressed to the library at 603 788-3352 or [email protected].
