The Tewksbury Genealogy Group 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 month's featured presentation is "Tips & Tricks For Searching Newspapers Online For Genealogical Research." Newspapers can provide a wealth of information to help you fill in gaps in your family history research. This presentation will explain how to search for newspapers online, beginning with the digitized newspapers typically available through library websites. Led by Janeen Bjork, who has found thousands of elusive items for her family, her students' families, and her client's families for more than a decade. She will demonstrate how to access both free and fee online newspaper resources, including their interfaces, and the best practices for searching on your own. Learn more about Bjork HERE.
