Where Were Your Ancestors During the Civil War?

"Where Were Your Ancestors During the Civil War?" is a lively introduction to family history for middle school (6, 7 & 8th graders) students. Dave Martin of the Cape Cod Genealogy Society will demonstrate how to start climbing the family tree, with a particular emphasis on census, vital records and war records. It will occur on the first Tuesday of school vacation week, April 21, from 2-4PM at the Dennis Public Library. Students will then be able to use the Ancestry.com, HISTGEN, and World Vital Records programs during the rest of the week as they pursue their ancestors with the help of library volunteers in the Genealogy Room at the DPL. All students should be accompanied by a responsible adult to help them accumulate family facts.
