Genealogy Resource Roundup: Ancestry Library Edition In-Person
The Houston Public Library provides access to several Texas-sized genealogy databases. Just like the wild west of old, these resources can seem daunting and vast to navigate.
If you have been wranglin' with our online resources and a-hollerin' for help the wait is over! Join us for a new series with the Clayton Library: The Genealogy Research Roundup.
Genealogy Librarian Carl Smith dons his Cowboy boots and hat to become Cowboy Carl - your Texas-themed genealogy guru - to help you with a-navigating these databases. Each month we'll cover a different database and in no-time you'll be on your way to greener genealogy pastures.
Our first workshop covers the Houston Public Library's Ancestry Library Edition database.
This event is free and open to the public.
Registration is required for this event.
