The Birmingham Public Library's Southern History Department has several free virtual genealogy programs underway as part of  2021 BPL Summer Learning.

The genealogy series kicked off on Tuesday, June 8, with the popular Intro to Genealogy workshop. That program covers such topics as how to begin researching your family tree using vital records, courthouse documents the Federal Census, and other materials.

The other programs, all offered viz Zoom, are as follows: 

Mad About Magazines, Tuesday, June 22, 2021, at 12:00 p.m. 

If you're not using periodicals in your family history research, you're missing out on some great information. Find out what you can discover about your ancestors in the pages of a magazine. Registration link is below: http://www.cobpl.org/calendar/?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D152538883 

 Researching Your House History, July 8, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. 

 Presented by the Library's Archives Department, this workshop will introduce viewers to resources at the Birmingham Public Library that can tell you when your house was built, who has lived there over time, and more.

 We hope you'll make plans to join us for these programs. We're excitedly developing some new workshops for the fall and will have more information soon.
