LOCK-IN

Genealogy Lock-In

16 September


No, we won't be dancing any jigs. But we will be delving into Irish Genealogical Research with Margaret Lynch, the Executive Director of the Irish American Archives Society in Cleveland.

It is an exciting time to be Irish and to be searching for your Irish heritage. Just this week, more records went online with the launch of  Irish Genealogy.ie

The site is described as "...home to the historic records of Births, Marriages and Deaths of the General Register Office. These records join the Indexes to the historic records of Births, Marriages and Deaths that were already available on the website."

Join Margaret to learn more about ALL of the resources to be used in Irish Genealogical Research.





Then MCDL's own Lisa Rienerth will teach us all how organize our research so that we know what we have, know what we need to find out and know where to find it
so that we can be more efficient and more effective researchers.


Lisa is THE GURU at the library on organizing your research.



The Lock-In is an after-hours event that runs from 6:30-10:30 on Friday evening, that focuses totally on genealogical research.

The evening offers light refreshments, door prizes, and the opportunity to use all the library's resources and to work with the Medina County Genealogical Society 's members on your own research.
