Are you missing Genealogy 101?  Looking for something to do on a Saturday morning?  
 
Come to the De Pere Library - Kress Family Branch tor this exciting program.
 
The Bay Area Genealogical Society (BAGS) is celebrating our 50th anniversary this year.  We are  making plans to provide genealogy programs for you this spring and throughout the year.  Since the Brown County Library’s Local History and Genealogy Department is not having Genealogy 101 this year why not attend the BAGS Saturday morning program?  
 
Our first program will be Dave Miller presenting “Researching your Irish Ancestors on this side of the Pond” on Saturday  March 1st at 10:30 am – noon at the De Pere Library - Kress Family Branch.  
 
Many were told growing up that Irish records just don’t exist anymore. What!! Is that really true?
 
Genealogist Dave Miller will be discussing how to research your Irish Ancestors by first researching and organizing information from American and Canadian records, looking at records from North American genealogy sites and researching records from Irish libraries and archives first through their online sites. Some were destroyed in the Four Courts Explosion and fire but not all perished. Dave will show you what records are out there and where to find them. Then if you’re preparing yourself for a visit to Ireland, he will explain what to expect and what you need when you visit these Irish libraries and archives before you even step on the plane, including the change in currency when going from Ireland to Northern Ireland!
