Online Genealogy: Making the Most of Ancestry.com

The Rock Island Public Library provides free access to one of the greatest genealogy sites available, Ancestry.com. Anyone who wants to begin fitting the branches into their family tree can begin their search here on one of our library’s public computers.

But what to do first? and where to go from there?

Renowned expert in genealogy, James Tanner, to the rescue. In this the first of our Online Genealogy video series, Mr. Tanner will help you not only to get started on your family project, but give you directions that can take you further into Ancestry.com than you might do just on your own without these helpful tips.

This series of videos is free and you are welcome to come, take notes, and learn how you can start this adventure of a lifetime.
