Genealogy over Lunch: Crowd-Sourcing a Family Mystery



Genealogy over Lunch: Crowd-Sourcing a Family Mystery

Every now and then we all need a little help solving a mystery. One of our Genealogy over Lunch regulars has shared a part of his family tree asking other members to help him fill in the blanks. Join us at Genealogy over Lunch on Thursday, August 18, from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in Love Library, Room 318, (Dean’s Conference Room) to share your results. If you wish to help Roger with his family mystery, contact Tom McFarland (lmfarland1@unl.edu) for the details. All faculty, staff, and students are invited to join in the discussion. You are welcome to bring your lunch.
