On Friday, June 19, 2015, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Love Library will host a day of workshops and discussions about genealogy, and how to use a variety of library resources to advance family history and cultural research. The workshops are free and participants can attend the entire day or specific workshops. A tour of Love Library will be included. 

Workshop topics include newspaper and military databases, WorldCat, ArchivGrid, and much more. Participants can bring lunch or purchase lunch at the Student Union/downtown restaurant.  Attendees are encouraged to use the “for-pay” parking at the Larson Building at 13th and Q Streets.

Genealogy Over Lunch: Beyond Ancestry.com


What are other sources besides Ancestry.com that I can use to obtain vital records about my family history? The group’s discussion this month will attempt to answer this question and more on Thursday, May 21 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.  We will also be in a different room: Love Library, Room 318 (Dean’s Conference Room). Join in the discussion and bring your lunch.
