Feb. 18, 2006 - Exploring Family Roots at Morley Library in Painesville
In honoring Black History Month, The Friends of Morley Library and the Lake County Genealogy Society asked AAGS to take part in a day devoted to researching African American family histories. Our Education Committee tag-teamed to provide information starting from the basics (with tidbits on organization and getting started) all the way to researching slave ancestors. Afterwards, Morley Reference Librarian and database coordinator Louise Kloss (right) demonstrated the use of research databases available at Morley Library (can be accessed from home) - including the African American Biographical Database.
