Jun 12 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm

Book a one on one appointment with genealogist Brian Tabor. One appointment available per month. Registration is required! We will stop accepting appointment requests at 6pm the day before each Genealogy Help.

What are some things you can work on during Genealogy Help? Glad you asked! Brian can help you get started on a family tree using the census, vital records, family mementos, and the library’s genealogy resources like Ancestry and Heritage Quest.

Please note: If you are not able to make the listed times, but would still like genealogy help, please email Stephanie at slevine@ewmlibrary.org. She will do her best to accommodate you with an appointment at a different weekday time.
