Learn how to use newspapers as a tool when researching your family history. For adults. Please register.

Join the Wellington County Branch Ontario Ancestors as they guide you through how to effectively utilize newspapers when researching your family history. Newspapers are a treasure trove of information for family historians. While obituaries are commonly sought after for details about a death, newspapers can reveal much more, including court notices, probate announcements, social columns, coroner’s inquests, missing persons reports, church news, community events and more. In this workshop, participants will discover the importance of newspapers in genealogical research, how to identify relevant newspapers and where to access them online and offline. Practical tips and valuable resources will be shared to help make your newspaper research more effective and rewarding.

By participating in this program, you acknowledge that you accept and agree to Guelph Public Library's Code of Conduct.

If you have any questions, please contact Archivist Darcy Hiltz at dhiltz@guelphpl.ca.
