SUMMARY:Windham County Genealogy Interest Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:LIVE AND IN PERSON SATURDAY\, JUNE 18\, AT 11 A.M\, EDT \nTOPICS: Searching Chronicling America Newspapers for Ancestors & Navigating NARA\, the National Archives and Records Administration \nThe June meeting of the Windham County Genealogy Interest Group will be held as a hybrid meeting:  in person at the Brooks Library Meeting Room\, 2nd Floor\, in Brattleboro and via Zoom on Saturday\, June 18\,  at 11 AM\, EDT. It is free and open to the public. \nRegister for the meeting at  https://bit.ly/WindhamGenJun . Attendees in person are encouraged to wear masks. \nSearching historical newspapers: The Library of Congress along with the National Endowment for the Humanities has a website called Chronicling America that contains historic American newspapers.  Part of the website includes a U.S. Newspaper Directory to find information about American newspapers published between 1690 to the present. Not all of these newspapers are online but the directory can provide information about where they are located.  The website also includes the Digitized Newspaper collection which includes a wide variety of newspapers published between 1777 and 1963.  This free website is searchable by name and date\, and includes ways to narrow the search by State\, by Ethnicity\, and by Language.  It is also possible to choose a specific newspaper and do a search in just that newspaper.  We’ll explore ways to use this valuable resource to find information about ancestors. \nThe United States National Archives and Records Administration\, aka NARA\,  was established by an act of  Congress in 1934 to preserve\, maintain\, and make accessible materials that record American history.  The collections go back to 1775 and were created by or for the U.S. Government. The holdings usually consulted by genealogists include Census records\, Military Service records\, Military Pension files\, and other important records to trace family histories. The NARA website is complex and can be intimidating to use. During this session we will present an overview of the extent of NARA’s collections\, which will hopefully give us a better understanding of using its web site and databases. \nThe Windham County (Vt.) Genealogy Interest Group is an informal organization whose members are dedicated to genealogy education\, research\, and best practices. Meetings are held every other month on Zoom. Many of these sessions were recorded and are available on the WCGIG YouTube Channel\, which cover topics  as: improving your search results in FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com; using family tree software; navigating the crowd sources cemetery database\, Find A Grave; using land records for genealogy research;  using AmericanAncestors.org\, the  database of the New England Historic Genealogical Society; finding people in the newly released 1950 U.S. Census\, \nFor more information please contact windhamcountygig@gmail.com. \nWayne and Jerry \nWayne Blanchard & Jerry Carbone \nWindham County Genealogy Interest Group \nwindhamcountygig@gmail.com
