Dead Relatives Socie Dead Relatives Society-Genealogy Research Group
Activity Room (Lower Level)
Nov 21, 9:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m.

Come join us to start researching your family tree. We will make the room and resources available. This will be a time when everyone can gather in one place and research with the assistance of library staff. You can also share with your fellow researchers.

While you can use the resources any time the library is open, this will be a time when you can work undisturbed, and have a staff member handy to help you. Instead of trying for staff attention, Lansing Public Library Reference Librarian Patty Higgins will be in the room, available to answer your questions.

We will spend some time discussing resources, and then you can do your research.
