If you have always wanted to research your family roots but don’t know where to start, North Webster Comm-unity Public Library is offering a five-class Beginning Genealogy Course in October.

Starting next week, the classes will be held at 10:30 a.m. every Tuesday throughout the month. Taught by the library’s local history and genealogy center director Beth Smith, the course will teach you how to search for information online and in libraries, courthouses and other sources.

You will also learn the standards for genealogy, research techniques, and how to interpret and organize the information you find. The course is free, but advance registration is required.

To sign up, inquire at the circulation desk or call 574-834-7122.



Other October Activities


Also on Tuesday, the library is starting a new knitting and crocheting group that will meet 2:30 p.m. the first Tuesday of each month.

Called Knit 1, Crochet 2, the group is for experienced knitters and crocheters as well as those who want to learn how. Those with experience are invited to bring their yarn projects to the library to work on while enjoying the company of others.

Learners should bring two size 8 knitting needles and a skein of Sugar ‘n Cream brand yarn (available in most stores) for making a kitchen dish cloth.

Linda Minnick will be on hand at the first session to help beginners. This class is for adults only.
