Don't Forget the Genealogy Open House on June 1 at Mt. Clemens Public Library

Don't forget this Friday, June 1, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. the Macomb County Genealogy Group (MCGG) will hold a Genealogy Open House in the Local History and Genealogy Room of the Mount Clemens Public Library.
 
What is happening at the Open House?

• Learn about the library's Local History and Genealogy Collection upstairs;
• Learn about (and use) our MCGG Special Collections located downstairs;
• Learn how to use the various equipment available in the Gene Room and get any questions you have about the equipment answered;
• Get research assistance from our volunteers -- bring your questions and problems whether they are with your family research or with using a particular genealogy website;
• Get help with ethnic research questions -- we have experts in several areas such as Polish, German, English, Scottish, Canadian, French-Canadian, etc.;
• Work station tables will be set up near electrical outlets in the Auditorium for attendees who bring their laptops;
• Just starting out? We have a beginner's table in the Auditorium with a moderator to give you some starting advice and answer questions. (Don't worry you will have time to explore our collections and work with our volunteers.);
• Light refreshments will be available in the auditorium too!

Please note that unlike our Open House last year which was held when the library was closed due to staff training, this year the library will be open to all patrons during the Open House.

Do you need to bring anything? If you have a question/problem make sure to bring your information so our volunteers can see what you have done already. Bring a USB drive in case you want to copy/digitize a found record. Bring your laptop if you want. 

Get help with your research and socialize with other family historians/genealogists too. The cost? Free! MCGG members and anyone who is curious about researching their family tree are welcome to attend.

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
