Join us on the third Saturday of each month (except
December), from 11 am-1 pm, Genealogy Garage workshops for family researchers
at all levels of expertise will be held at the Central Library of the LAPL.
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.
Genealogy Garage is designed to be interactive, so bring your questions! Please RSVP as noted below. At the end of each workshop there will be a tour of the Genealogy department. Stay and we will help you research afterward.
Directions to Central Library and parking info available at http://www.lapl.org/central/. Use this link for directions: http://www.lapl.org/central/directions.html
