Researching Your Ancestors: Developing Your Research Plan – Let’s Get Started!

Please join Wilton Library for a three-part series on researching your ancestors: November 3, 10, and 17. Please note: each session can stand alone but you will get more out of each if you attend all three.

Once you figure out what you have, it will be easier to figure out what you still need in your search for your ancestors. We will help you define a goal and stay on track. We will show you how to use clues in various records, how to work around slow-downs (which are different from real brick walls), and how to not get lost in the weeds. Handouts will be provided.

These sessions on how to research your ancestors will be led by Jolene Mullen. A member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) for 30 years, Jolene has held numerous chapter, state, and national offices. An author and frequent speaker on genealogical topics to libraries and historical societies, Mullen is a member of the Connecticut Professional Genealogists Council.
