Free Genealogy Workshop at Library Tonight

Librarian Andrea Fiorillo will help teens and adults navigate ancestry sites.

The Medfield Public Library will hold a genealogy workshop tonight, July 24, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to teach people how to get started using family research tools such as Ancestry and American Ancestors. 

The workshop geared toward teens and adults, is free, and will be held in the computer area on the library’s lower level.

Ancestry.com claims to be the world’s largest on-line family history resource with seven billion genealogical records from across the globe and millions of family trees.
