Genealogy: Workshops and Handouts

The British National Archives offers a variety of podcasts on variety of subjects of interest to their users. Once section, Family History, offers information on genealogy.

Presented by Sarah Divine, Adult Services Librarian and Gena Meroth, University Archivist.

Are your ancestors buried in the library? Here are tools to uncover your family history hidden in the online and printed resources in the NSU Alvin Sherman Library and GSBC collections. Local, Florida, national, and international resources are at your fingertips with the expert research tips by professional librarians and archivists.

This six week series served as an introduction to basic genealogy research. Attendees learned best practices, how to search sources, and strategies in doing genealogy research. Topics covered included the U.S. Census, vital records, immigration research, military research, and a variety of other resources.

This program was part of the American Creed Community Conversations and was designed to engage Americans in reflection and dialogue about their own part in the American story, and in acting to shape that story for the better.
