NBC will be presenting a new show starting April 20 at 7 pm on genealogy. It is an American version of the BBC show, "Who Do You Think You Are?" and will trace the ancestry of celebrities back many generations.
It may generate interest in your community for genealogy research and local history materials. Genealogy is a popular hobby. People who start their search at the library will be way ahead of those who subscribe to an expensive online service. Let me know if you need help or ideas with genealogy. I can come to your library and explain the intricacies of the TexShare databases that help genealogists: Heritage Quest, New Handbook of Texas, Texas Digital Sanborn Maps, etc. Laurie Laurie Mahaffey, Deputy Director Central Texas Library System, Inc. 1005 West 41st Street Austin, Texas 78756 www.ctls.net [email protected] 512-583-0704 x18 800-262-4431 x18
