Meet the Speaker
A Wichita native, Gary Clark has worked in computer-related industries his whole career. Recently retired from the business world, he still writes books on vintage photographs and history related topics. Bit by the genealogy bug in 1993, research into his Johnson and Clark primary genealogy lines and other branches occupies much of his free time. He has many ancestors and current family members in Sedgwick, Cowley, Sumner, Harvey, and Reno counties.
About the Program
This informative session will feature an overview, demonstration, and examples of the American Ancestors online genealogy service. Described as a National Center for Family History, Heritage, and Culture, American Ancestors provides access to an excellent array of genealogy databases, historical records, educational tools, and original scans dating back to the 1700s. While its focus is on New England and the eastern seaboard, it also includes resources from across the United States.
Thanks to the Wichita Genealogical Society, access to this invaluable service is free in the Historical Research Pavilion at the Advanced Learning Library. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore a must-see application that is often overlooked by genealogists.
In addition, enjoy a brief review of other subscription-based genealogy resources available for free at the library, including Newspapers.com, Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.com, Fold3.com, and HeritageQuest.
This is an event you won’t want to miss—perfect for genealogists at all levels!
