Online Genealogy Research

The Genealogy Club of Newtown will present a talk by Thomas J. Kemp, Wednesday evening, October 14, at 7 pm, on the topic of “21st Century Core Genealogical Resources.”

Mr Kemp will demonstrate the core online resources that family researchers can use to locate detailed information about ancestors and distant relatives. His presentation will cover Internet sources for searching books, documents and microfilm, newspapers, government reports, and family genealogy records.

The director of Genealogy Products for NewsBank, Mr Kemp has written 30 books on genealogy, and he has been tracing his family’s genealogy for 44 years.

The club’s fall program continues Thursday evening, November 12, when Jim Sanders will describe the many genealogy resources available at the Connecticut State Library as he talks about searching for his ancestor, Sidney W. Ford.
