Please note: All units of the Beaufort County Library are closed Monday, November 12, 2018 in observance of Veterans Day.
Regular hours resume on Tuesday, November 13th. The Research Room will re-open at 9 AM that day and we have an extra special family history workshop in the afternoon!
Have you been putting off joining the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Society of the Cincinnati, or another ancestor-based lineage or heritage society because you don't know where to start or how to gather the necessary evidence of your ancestral lines? Do we have the perfect workshop for you - and even better yet - there's no need to register for this free program!
Join BDC staff at the St. Helena Branch Library on Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at 4:00 PM for a “Lineage & Hereditary Societies: What are they and how do you join them?” Workshop with Bonnie Wade-Mucia.

The workshop will include discussion of the various types of lineage and hereditary societies, what the requirements are to join some of the best known ones and how to put together your application with your documented proof of descendant. She will also be covering how you can use DNA as proof in your lineage society applications. Participants are encouraged to bring along their lineage society questions and applications to work through during the workshop.
The Workshop is free and no registration is required.
