Hope you will join us this Saturday at the Central library of the LAPL when one of our favorite workshop leaders, Barbara Randall will share a topic: "Is Your Missing Ancestor a Jailbird?" for Genealogy Garage.
Genealogy Garage is this Saturday June 18th, from 11 am-1 pm.
The presenter, Barbara Randall, is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) & the Genealogical Speakers Guild, will disclose how to explore legal and penal system records that may reveal the hidden past of a missing ancestor or relative, who may be a convicted criminal.

No matter where you are researching and whether you are a beginner or have been researching for years, here is an opportunity to “tune-up” your current research skills or learn something new about family history research.
