Topics in Genealogy

Posted by bonnie on 15 August 2018

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

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

Notice that the focus is on United States records, however, each topic has its international element.

At the San Rafael Libraries and all of the MARINet libraries, you have FREE in-library access to the most popular genealogy research tool – Ancestry.com Inside any of the city and county libraries, just log in with your library card number and PIN/password.
