NEWS

Carlsbad Library Announcement:

Recently the Carlsbad City Library performed some maintenance on the patron database. Patrons who have not checked out library material since 2004 were removed from the system and this included patrons who use their cards to access the Library's online databases but have not checked out materials since 2004. The Library apologizes for the inconvenience and encourages you to reapply for a library card.

Subject: Genealogy Classes in Lemon Grove

The Lemon Grove Library has Genealogy classes the first and third Wed of every month. They meet in the Conference area or sometimes out in the library at a table. The meeting time is 6 PM until 7:45 PM.

Many topics have been covered over the years. If a topic is not pertinent we do Brick Wall assistance to help move an attendees genealogy block. This event is done quite often. My favorite way of an evening is to do a small presentation and then move to assist those whom are lost on where to go next, what to garner and whom to contact the second part of evening. Sometimes the presentation gets engaging and we spend the entire evening on the topic.

The classes are open to Beginners, Intermediate or Advanced researchers. We welcome teenagers who are working on school projects or their own work. We would love to work with teachers whom would like to know more about where their students can gain information.

Topics that can be discussed are: Immediate Family Records, Distant Family Knowledge, Land Records, Wills, Deeds, Tax Lists, Obituaries, Bible Records, Medical Knowledge, PERSI, World Cat, County History records, Maps, Migration, and the ever proverbial Census records (they have many errors or completely missed ancestors).

As a member of the Chula Vista Genealogical Society, San Diego Genealogical Society, and the National Genealogical Society and others, our members or myself, are available to come and talk to your school class on many topics.

I can be reached through the Library or the genealogical society's web page or my webpage. One of my webpages is: http://www.ourfamilyhistories.com/
