Topics in Genealogy

Posted on 23 March 2016

We’ll be discussing a different area of genealogy research each month. Our speaker, Jeffery Vaillant, Director of the Marin County Genealogy Society and genealogy junkie loves a challenge, so come with your questions!

Meets every 2nd Tuesday of the month (unless otherwise noted) in the Library Meeting Room.

January 9 – Immigration and naturalization records, fold3
