Genealogy Program Planned at Salem Public Library

The time is quickly approaching for another information-filled genealogy program at Salem Public Library. Taking a closer look at genealogical resources will be the focus when Salem Public Library hosts the program “Deeper Analysis: Techniques for Successful Problem Solving.” “The Genealogical Proof Standard states that analysis and correlation of data is necessary but what techniques are best? Spreadsheets, timelines, maps, charts are just a few of the techniques we will discuss”. The program will be presented in the library’s Quaker Room on April 23, 2018 at 6:30 pm by Elissa Scalise Powell, Certified Genealogist and Certified Genealogical Lecturer, of Powell Genealogical Services, Wexford, Pennsylvania.

Registration is required and may be done by going online to www.salem.lib.oh.us or by calling 330-332-0042 for assistance with registration. The program is open to the public and free of cost to attend. Salem Public Library is located at 821 E. State St., Salem, Ohio 44460.
