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 the process of writing about your ancestors in a way that’s memorable. Learn how to compose timelines; how to build historical context around life events; how to search for (and find) a life’s central theme and more. This program is designed for those with an intermediate skill level.
