Help! Genealogy Patrons: A Three Part Webinar Series</a> beginning Tuesday, 7/26/2022 thorugh Tuesday, 8/9/2022.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:#FEFEFE;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#303030">Libraries are a popular place for people searching their family history. Most librarians are not genealogy specialists, yet they
frequently get genealogy questions. During this three-part webcast series, learn about genealogy principles and resources that can prepare you to help the next genealogy patron who visits your reference desk—without needing to become a specialist.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#303030">Libraries are often tasked with handling genealogy requests from patrons who need guidance about the types of records that exist and how they can be located. Tina will cover how libraries
can utilize and promote their genealogy and local history collections to users, and where to turn when patrons need help outside of their collection’s scope. She will walk library staff through the process of conducting the genealogy reference interview to
fulfill the patron’s requests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

can be gleaned from them, and provide examples along the way using a case study. She will give an overview of the following types of records: census, vital records (birth, marriage, and death), obituaries, cemetery, military, land, and probate records.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
