FYI Genealogists

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The St. Lawrence Valley Genealogical Society [SLVGS] and the St. Lawrence County Historical Association [SLCHA] are sponsoring an opportunity for SLVGS members, and others, to become acquainted with the research room of the St. Lawrence County Historical Association at 3 E. Main St., Canton [the Silas Wright House “Red Barn” addition]. This will be an "open-house" type meeting beginning at 10 am, Saturday, March 4. An extra-special plus, we will be introducing the latest genealogy-related collection at SLCHA – records of the Alcoa 25-year club going back over 60 years, up to 2008. Many of these records contain a considerable amount of family data. A number of experienced genealogy researchers will be on hand to answer questions, and assist attendees with their research. Those arriving in the morning will have the opportunity to continue to use the research facilities until 4 p.m, with the usual $5 research fee for non-members waived. At 11 a.m, Norm Young will talk about on-line newspaper searching, and using Adobe Acrobat Reader in conjunction with such research. Contact SLCHA with any questions on this event, at 315-386-8133.
