**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Meeting via email.** 

The new Tewksbury Genealogy Group, which generally meets the fourth Tuesday evening of every month, is open to everyone who's interested in genealogy. Each meeting -- which will take place via Zoom -- consists of a presentation from a guest speaker (typically a professional genealogist), followed by a period where members can briefly share their latest genealogy research, and then the library will share a genealogy resource its patrons can access for free. 

The presentation for the April 27 meeting is Using The Digital Public Library For Genealogy. The Digital Public Library (DPLA) has resources from the Library of Congress, the HathiTrust, the Internet Archive, and thousands of other museums and archives. All are available for free in ONE search. The DPLA will enable you to add details to your ancestral tree or family history for which you already have names and dates. Millions of materials are available including genealogies, photographs, town histories, vital records, newspapers, manuscripts, letters and family Bible records. Many genealogists are using the Digital Public Library to help them break through their brick walls. This presentation will be led by Diane Brooks-Sherry, the Merrimack Valley Chapter President of the Massachusetts Society of Genealogists, Inc.
