Join us for an evening focused on newspapers as an invaluable resource for discovering details about your ancestors' lives.

Newspapers can provide those nuggets of information that can help break down brick walls or add color to our ancestors’ lives. This presentation will review the major websites offering access to historical newspapers, as well as search strategies for finding your family’s stories.

Maureen Brady, a former school librarian and computer educator, has forty years of experience with family history research. She has traced her Scottish roots back to the end of the 17th century and beyond and has also pursued Chicago and the Midwest, the trans-Allegheny U.S., Quebecois, Irish, and Swedish research. She is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild, and a life member of the Aberdeen and Northeast Scotland Family History Society and the Ohio, Chicago, and McHenry County (Illinois) Genealogical Societies. Maureen is also active in the Kentucky, Middle Tennessee, and Lake County (Illinois) Genealogical Societies, the British Interest Group of Wisconsin & Illinois, and the Chicago Scots Scottish Genealogical Society.
