– Nov. 25: Online Using PERSI for Genealogical Research from 10 to 1:30 a.m.
PERSI serves as a comprehensive index of most genealogical and family-history oriented periodicals and enables researchers to locate key information about people and places. It contains over 2.5 million entries from thousands of historical, genealogical and ethnic publications, making it a comprehensive family history resource. Researchers may access articles, photos and other materials that may be difficult to locate using traditional search methods. This can help to build the historical context around personal research, and the world that one’s ancestors lived in. The information often provides leads for follow-up investigation. Registration is required by Nov. 24 at 8 p.m.
