Beyond the Basics of Genealogy Workshop: Census and Sensibility Using and Interpreting U.S. Census

First taken in 1790, the U.S. census is probably a genealogist's most-used resource. Beginners and experts alike use the federal census as the starting point for their research. Learn the ins and outs of the census, how it’s changed from year to year (and why it matters), and how to interpret your ancestors’ responses. Workshops are free of charge, but registration is requested. To register, contact the Southern History Department of the Birmingham Public Library at 205-226-3665 or askgenlocal@bham.lib.al.us. The class will be held in the Arrington Auditorium (4th floor) of the Linn-Henley building.
