On Thursday, November 14th 2024, the Peoria County Genealogical Society will hold its monthly member meeting at the Peoria Public Library North Branch to hear from Irene Walters, Librarian at Houston Public Library’s Family History Research Center (remote speaker). Irene will showcase how to use digital newspapers to enhance your family research.You’ve got the facts of your family history from census, land, tax, probate, and other records. Now, it’s time to add some text to the family stories using the newspaper. Use this talk to find out about digital newspapers: how to find them, what to search for in them, and how to search for your relatives in them.
Irene B. Walters came to Houston Public Library’s Family History Research Center at the Clayton Library Campus from Buffalo, NY in 1997. As well as helping researchers at the library, Irene gives talks on many aspects of genealogical research. Irene’s own genealogy research has taken her lines back into France, Ireland, and Germany. Like all families some ancestors are being more difficult.
Free and open to the public. No registration needed if attending in person.
