SUMMARY:Researching Your Ancestors: Developing Your Research Plan – Let’s Get Started!
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOnce 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. \nThese 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. \nRegistration is required. Register online or call 203.762.6334. For information\, email Andrea Sato.

SUMMARY:Genealogy Research — One-on-One Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Have you been interested in your ancestry? It’s time to get started. Meet one-on-one with a Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) lineage research specialist at Wilton Library during a 45-minute private session on Saturday\, Jan. 7\, between 10:15 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. The DAR researchers are specialists in lineage research back to the late 1700s. But even if you have immigrant ancestors who arrived in the 19th and 20th centuries\, we can help you connect to them and get you started in those countries. \nThe event is co-sponsored by Wilton Library and the Drum Hill Chapter of the DAR. There are limited slots available. Register by calling Mary Bendix at 203.247.1691 with your preferred time\, research interest\, and contact information. Be sure to bring your research plan and any copies of documents you may have to support your research so we can help you get started. \nThe DAR is a non-political women’s service organization whose members come from a variety of backgrounds and interests who all share a common bond of having an ancestor who helped contribute to securing the independence of the United States of America. Any woman 18 years or older\, regardless of race\, religion\, or ethnic background who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible to join.

SUMMARY:The Weekend The British Burned Danbury
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library for a special presentation on the Weekend the British Burned Danbury given by the Danbury-based host of the popular podcast on Connecticut history\, Mike Allen. \nIn 1777\, early in the Revolutionary War\, a weekend military mission into inland Connecticut was supposed to be a seminal military victory for the British in their attempts to put down the Patriot uprising. The objective was to march inland from Long Island Sound and remove Danbury as a key supply center for the Patriot military. It was the first time the British had marched inland to do battle during the war\, and the strategy did not work out as planned. Included in the presentation are the burning of Danbury as well as the Battles of Ridgefield and Saugatuck on the march back to Long Island Sound through Wilton. \nAllen specializes in bringing local history to life through his background in journalism\, radio broadcasting\, podcasting and public speaking. He is the producer and host of the popular podcast on Connecticut history\, Amazing Tales from Off and On Connecticut’s Beaten Path\, rated in the top 5-10% of podcasts nationally. For 10 years\, Allen was News Director at western Connecticut radio station i-95 FM (WRKI-FM) before becoming Press Secretary to the Mayor of Danbury. During a subsequent\, 25-year corporate career\, he worked\, lived\, and traveled internationally\, specializing in public speaking\, communications\, and marketing. Allen has lived in Connecticut for more than 50 years and currently resides in Danbury. \nCo-sponsored by Wilton Library and the Drum Hill Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. \nRegistration is recommended online or call 203.762.6334.
