Have you ever wondered, do you really want to spend your hard-earned money on a premium online site to continue your family history search? Maybe you have a personal account on one of those sites, but you don't really know how to use it very well. Are there some free sites that may help you in your journey?
Iroquois County Genealogical Society volunteers are ready to help you gain some insight and experience in your online quest. Next week, March 9-14, 2015, we are having
ONE-ON-ONE WEEK at the ICGS archives in the Old Courthouse Museum, 103 West Cherry Street, Watseka, IL. Bring your research questions and your curiosity. We'll sit down with you to see what we can all learn. If you already subscribe to a premium site, bring your login information and we can work from information you already have found. Either way, we are waiting to help.
A variety of premium sites can be explored:
Ancestry.com,
Fold3.com,
NewspaperArchive.com,
FindMyPast.com,
Genealogy.com,
LivesOfTheFirstWorldWar.org,
Accessible-Archives.com, a German immigration database site and Daughters of the American Revolution. We can also help with the free
FamilySearch.org web site. (Oh, and we will have a sale on our print books for participants.)
This is a free service to help you in your family history journey. All we ask is that you call the ICGS office at 815-432-3730 or email us at iroqgene@yahoo.com to register. We are offering these in two-hour blocks of time (you may extend, if needed).
March 9-14, 2015
Monday through Saturday, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
See you soon!!
