Many people want to learn more about their family’s ancestors, but they don’t know how to start. Mendocino County Museum will be hosting FREE public workshops to help those that are new to genealogy build their family tree, and learn about their family’s history.

Join Benjamin MacBean, Mendocino County Museum’s Research Librarian, in learning more about how military records can provide valuable information on the veteran, as well as on all members of the family. Learn about online resources and how and what type of information that can be gathered from sources such as pension applications, draft cards, and compiled military service records. This program is designed for those with an intermediate skill level.
