Launching Your Family History Research Workshop

Family History Research Workshop in Terre Haute, Indiana

If you are a beginning or an experienced family history researcher, you will benefit from this workshop.  Launching Your Family History begins on Saturday, April 6th, at 10:30, at the Vigo County History Center Auditorium on Wabash Avenue. 

Four programs covering initial smart choices for family history research will be presented and discussed by seven experienced genealogists and family history researchers.  Two speakers are county genealogists for the Indiana State Historical Society.  There will be a panel discussion after each session with Q & A.

Pre-registration is required for a Petty Pit Stop lunch, which includes choice of sandwich, a salad, apple pie blondie, and a drink for $12.  Reservations can be made at the Vigo County History Center or call 812-235-9717.

Lunch is served in the event center with continuing personal family history research help.  Patrons may bring a lunch or lunch on their own.  The cut-off for the lunch inclusion is March 29th; however, registrations without the lunch can be taken until April 6th, until a quota of 50 is reached.

Each patron receives a folder of family history research materials, a packet of useful materials from the Terre  Haute Visitors Bureau and a chance for several prizes, two valued close to $100.
