The Irish Family History Forum will meet this Saturday, March 16, at the Bethpage Public Library.
There will be a Tips and Tricks session at 10 a.m. with Kathleen McGee at 10 a.m. At 10:45 a.m. there will be an Ask the Experts session.
The featured program will begin at 11:15 a.m. This month the topic will be “City Directories: Finding Ancestors In Between the Federal Censuses” presented by Terry Koch-Bostic.
Member Terry Koch-Bostic, will discuss using city directories in genealogy research. Often ancestors seem to be missing from a particular census. City directories can help establish where your ancestors lived, worked, married, and went to church, as well as their surname variants. Learning how to fully use city directories as a resource may even help you to find vital records or their substitutes.
