PGS Events for the Week of 12 January

Here is what's happening this week at Pinellas Genealogy Society:

Monday, 13-Jan-2014 at 6:00 PM--City Directories in Genealogy Research--City directories are a valuable genealogy resource. They can give information on household composition, residence and business location, and insights into the lives our ancestors led. They can also be used as a substitute for the US Federal Census, or used in conjunction with the census to locate hard-to-find ancestors. This class explores the history of this resource, the research value of the information they provide, and where to find the records. Summers, Local History Room, Largo Library
Tuesday, 14-Jan-2014 at 6:00 PM--Searching the internet for online scanned books (google books, heritage quest, ancestry.com, et al). Summers, Local History Room, Largo Library
