This program will discuss how to get started in genealogy and family history to solve the “genealogy jigsaw puzzle.” We’ll cover a range of topics, and the discussion will be tailored as necessary depending on audience questions and background.

Expected topics to be covered:

Family Tree
  • Research using vital records (birth, marriage, death)
  • Discussion with family members
  • Research using Ancestry.com for census records, ship records, naturalization records, etc.
  • Digitized newspapers, locally using the Detroit Jewish News Foundation, and hands-on discovery using old Detroit City Directories at the Burton Historical Collection.
