Free (and Almost Free) Genealogy

Gunn Memorial Library

THE TERRYVILLE LIBRARY IS HOSTING THIS PROGRAM

Find out how to locate family-history information online and through non-digital sources without spending a fortune. In addition to using the big-name websites, see how to search for clues about ancestors by checking Linkpendium, the Ancestor Hunt, state and local genealogy societies and asking local historians, archives, and libraries. Learn tips for deciding when it pays to pay for a document, based on what’s missing from your family tree, what your family already has in hand and how unique that document really is.
