Thanks to a grant from the New York State
Educations Department, the Ancestry Library Edition (Ancestry LE) now
available at the Royalton Hartland Community Library. Now many local
folks are trying to discover their family roots. This online service
provides individuals the most comprehensive resource for discovering
their roots, but one may not know where to start.
Thanks
to Genealogist Lou Omel, that task may be a bit easier. Omel, a
consultant from the Family History Center in Williamsville, will be at
the Royalton Hartland Community Library on Monday, August 24 at 7 p.m.
with an informal presentation entitled “Climbing Your Family Tree”. It
will focus on how to use the online database available at Ancestry LE to
research your family background. It will be followed by a question and
answer period.
When
the library is open, patrons can access Ancestry LE from one of the
library’s public computers or from their own devices using the library’s
Wi-Fi connection. Omel will be explaining how to use this online
resource effectively.
Anyone
attending the August 24 program with a special interest such as
specific countries of origin, the military, local history, the Civil
War, etc. can let the library know when they register.
As space is limited, it is advised to register for this program by calling the library at 716-735-3281.
The
Royalton Hartland Community Library provides residents a wide variety
of programs and materials that can be found on the library’s website at www.RoyHartCommunityLibrary.com .
