Join us this Wednesday AND Friday to hear from two of our favorite webinar speakers, Maureen Taylor and DearMYRTLE. On Wednesday Maureen will present "Researching Your Roots in Rhode Island" and on Friday DearMYRTLE will present "Blogging for Beginners."
Wednesday – Researching Your Roots in Rhode Island by Maureen Taylor
Rhode Island may be the smallest state but it offers genealogists a wealth of resources that date back to 1636 on the city, county and state level. While some resources are online, this webinar will also explore how to find what you need in local collections.
Maureen Taylor spent more than a decade working at the Rhode Island Historical Society. You may know her as the Photo Detective, but she loves the Ocean State as much as a picture.
