When the Centennial Museum & the Manitoulin Genealogy Club
are Hosting A Genealogy Workshop
Topics For the Day Are:
Why Oral History?
An oral history accentuates and completes our documented family
history. When we think of genealogical research we think of libraries,
archives and county courthouses, but we often forget our most valuable
resource -- our living family. Learn the steps to highlight your family
history.
