Genealogy databases at Clayton State by Clayton State Archivist Rosemary Fischer Research in the Library
The first half of the day will feature speakers. After lunch, the workshop will head across the hall to the Clayton State Library to utilize the free genealogy programs offered by the University. Attendees will also learn which of the programs are available to use free at home via the University website.
“With your RSVP, please let us know what brick walls you are running up against in your research. We will assign someone to help you with your issue, and hopefully get it resolved by the end of the workshop,” says Fischer.
Fischer also notes that this will be a “hands on workshop,” so attendees should bring their laptop or tablets, plus anything they need help with, including files and notes.
A unit of the University System of Georgia where dreams are made real, Clayton State University is located 15 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta.
