Pastfinders offers free beginner genealogy classes every quarter. Classes are held both in person at Cooper Memorial Library and virtually via Zoom.

This class will cover the various types of obituary notices and their genealogical value. The phases of the US Naturalization Process and their connection to the US Census will be explored.  We will look at Alien Files in the National Archives Database, the history of US Visas needed/used by ancestors, and understand how the US Archives Publication List can uncover sourcing for research. Ask questions any time during the presentation.
