Take   a   mid-day   break   October to     join     Kathy     Robins     and Lynne   Puckett,   as   we   explore various     genealogy     research topics.     Research     workshops will   be   on Tuesdays   from   Noon until   1   pm   through   October   31 in    the    Computer    Classroom. These    ladies    introduce    new information     each     week     and leave   plenty   of   time   to   assist you    in    your    research.    Bring    your    questions    and    explore    your ancestral       roots!       This week's          topic:          City Directories. 3-month              genealogy research   workshop   series began    August     8,     2017. Nothing   is   more   important to    the    research    process than    deciding    what    you want    to    learn.    What    you want    to    accomplish    may vary,   but   usually,   building up      to      it      with      well- documented   research   will   help.   So   thanks   to   the   painstaking   work of   Kathy   Robins   and   Lynne   Puckett   you   can   know   different   way   to find   out   your   roots   or   some   information   of   your   great-grandfather. All   together   is   13   genealogy   class   series.   Topics   were   different: Irish     records     online,     passenger     lists,     historical     newspapers, Montana   &   regional   connections,   military   records   etc.   Everyone who   attended   classes   had   a   unique   opportunity   to   learn   how   to correctly   collect   information   in   one   or   another   situation.   And   also each   was   given   a   list   of   resources   and   explained   how   to   use   them correctly.   Separately,   the   resource   was   noted   to   be   paid   or   not.   One can     only     admire     the     work     of     these     ladies.     October     31, unfortunately,   the   final   session.   Take   the   opportunity   to   spend   time with   benefit.   Such   projects   make   you   think   about   your   roots,   about your   family. And   most   importantly,   about   yourself!   Where   did   I   come from?    Why    am    I    the    way    I    am?    What    do    I    know    about    my ancestors?   What   can   I   learn   about   them?   And   most   importantly, genealogy   has   always   been   considered   the   lot   of   the   elect.   But   it turns   out   that   we   ourselves   can   be   good,   even   if   not   the   most p   r   o   f   e   s   s   i   o   n   a   l     genealogists.     The     main thing is to make efforts! "We    had    Montana    Irish Heritage    exhibit    here    in August.   Since   here   a   lot of   Irish   heritage   people   in Montana   and   we   decided to    continue.    After    come the    idea    to    add    another topic   also.   I   love   to   do   it.   I am       my       own       family genealogist     so     I     have experience   and   skills   how   to   looking   for   for   member   of   your   family. That   is   why   I   was   talking   about   my   grandfather   during   the   meeting. Kathy,   she   is   my   boss   and   I   we   did   a   lot   of   research   before   every class.   A   lot   helped   Internet,   the   Internet   is   your   friend!"?   -   told   to Johnson Billings News Lynne Puckett Genealogy Resources in Billings MT Billings Public Library, 510 North Broadway http://ci.billings.mt.us/index.aspx?NID=258 Family History Center 1711 6th St. West mt_billings@idsmail.net MT Big Sky Genealogy Computer Group 1711 6th St. West athnamay@gmail.com Germans from Russia meet at Pilgrim Congregation Church 409 South 36th St. hham@usadig.com
