Know Your Roots: Genealogy Basics with the US Census

Saturday, January 9

1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Getting started with your family history can feel overwhelming. Do you join a website? Listen to your relatives? Something else? This one hour virtual program will introduce participants to the workings of the US census. A foundational source for the research of US based ancestors, the census can allow a researcher to follow a family over time. It can also provide hints for other useful sources. Participants will access the census on the website FamilySearch.org, so that they can do further research from home.
