African American Genealogy Workshop - Feb. 2nd


We're taking our African-American Genealogy Presentation to the Hilton Head Branch Computer lab on Wed., Feb. 2nd from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm. Registration is required.

Seating is very limited for this workshop so be sure to register in person at Hilton Head Branch Library Reference desk or by calling 843-255-6525 today!

Charmaine Concepcion, the BDC's Preservation Associate, will guide you on the right path to discovering your genealogical roots in this presentation/workshop featuring the Ancestry Library Edition database. You'll get to do some online searching so start limbering up your fingers and loosening your mind to explore the (almost) 7500 databases inside ALE!

*Attendees must possess basic computer skills (clicking, typing in a search box).

*If possible, please bring a list of 3 people within your family who were alive to be counted in the 1930 U.S. Federal census.


Please note: This session is designed only as an introduction to the basic process and to the ALE database, made available to you by subscription on our library's public access computers. We hope to whet your appetite to undertake your own research into the ever fascinating journey of learning more about your (mostly already dead) relatives.
