Finding Your Chicago Ancestors: Strategies for Every Stage of Life

Saturday, November 14, from 10am - 4:00pm
Arlington Heights Memorial Library
500 N. Dunton Ave.
Arlington Heights

Free - Registration required

Grace Dumelle and Ginger Frere will co-present four sessions during a free full day on Chicago genealogy. Session 1, "The Early Years", will cover the records generated in our early years - birth, baptismal and school records, for starters. Session 2, "Adult Years", will center on marriage, divorce, property and occupational records. Session 3, "End of Life", will include discussion of death, cemetery, probate and inquest records. The last session of the day will be "Stump the Experts". Bring your Chicago genealogy "stumpers" to this session!

Grace Dumelle will offer copies of her book, Finding Your Chicago Ancestors, and other Lake Claremont Press titles.
