FAMILY HISTORY WORKSHOP ANNOUNCED

The Westminster Historical Society announces a new series of workshops for persons interested in
working on their family history.  Meetings are held on the 2nd Saturday of each month and the public is
invited to attend.  A fee of $5.00 is requested each time you attend to cover administrative expenses.   

This group will be for anyone who would like to learn how to begin searching for their family roots or for
those who would like to work with others who are doing the same.  It's also for people who have hit a road
block in creating their family tree.  Bring what you have information you already have to this meeting.

Bring your questions to this meeting, and experienced genealogy researches will help you find the
answers.  All the genealogy resources of the Historical Society will be available for research, including
