Special emphasis will be placed upon a new addition to the collection: Census of Inmates in Almshouses and Poorhouses.
•March 14 – Irish Roots II. Last year, professional genealogist Dennis Hogan discussed how to use American records to locate Irish family members. This year, he is back with more ways to help searching Irish records.
•March 21 – Church Records: What are they and how do I find them? Marian Henry, president of the Rochester Genealogical Society, discusses the various types of church records. She will help researchers consider under what circumstances the original records were created and how to find them, or copies of them, today.
•March 28 – Military Records: Find Fighting Forefathers. Learn how to track down information about those who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Roy Thurston will share his own research experience in this area, including the discovery of POW/MIAs.
