Event Description

There is no such thing as "one stop genealogy shopping"! This program will lead you through the resources and search techniques for the three big UK and Irish databases: FindMyPast,
ScotlandsPeople, and RootsIreland. Learn what's new on these databases, how you can apply them to your research and how privacy and information rights impact your quest for records. Our speaker is Debra M. Dudek, who is Head of Adult and
Teen Services at the Fountaindale Public Library District in Bolingbrook, IL. She holds a post graduate certificate in
Genealogical, Palaeographic & Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. She is author of The World War I Research Guide: Tracing American Military and
Non-Combatant Ancestors. Everyone is welcome---we hope you will join us.
