Expand your genealogy toolbox and join Jessie Affelder, Head of Adult Services at the Messenger Public Library of North Aurora, to discover how to use city directories in your genealogy research
Discover how to use both the Aurora Public Library and online collections of annual city directories to find your ancestor’s names, occupations, addresses, family members, and more. Did they mysteriously disappear between U. S. or state census years? Did they move, change occupation, die, or become widowed? Originally created for salesmen long before there were phone books, learn a new way to expand your genealogy research. Presented by Jessie Affelder, Head of Adult Services at the Messenger Public Library of North Aurora.
A state-of-the-art center for technology, information, literacy creativity and community. Equipped with a Makerspace, local history and genealogy room, teen space, and study rooms.
