RENOWNED GENEALOGIST TO PRESENT FAMILY HISTORY WORKSHOP AT ST. CHARLES COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Community members can learn to start – or enhance – their family history search through a one-day Family History Workshop to be held 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, at St. Charles Community College.

For beginners as well as experienced genealogists, the workshop will be led by Michael John Neill, a faculty member of the Genealogical Institute of Mid-America at the University of Illinois-Springfield and nationally known genealogist.

“If you’re just getting started piecing your family history together or if you need help in digging deeper, this workshop will help. Not only do we have an excellent presenter in Michael, but participants will learn from each other’s experiences as well,” said Marva Lee Roellig, president of the St. Charles County Genealogical Society.

Workshop topics will include: learning to use Footnote.com to access National Archives records, the history of American naturalization and its effects on family history, and writing your ancestor’s biography, and determining the integrity of information to help the family historian make informed conclusions.

Registration fee for the Family History Workshop is $20. Registration availability cannot be guaranteed after Saturday, Oct. 13. An optional catered lunch is available for $7.50.  Registration is required; call the Social Sciences Division at 636-922-8398 or e-mail Christy Gant at cgant@stchas.edu.

The workshop will be held in rooms 205-206 of the SCC Student Center.  The college is located at 4601 Mid Rivers Mall Drive in Cottleville.
