Melissa Barker on "Researching in Libraries and Archives:
the Do’s and Dont’s”

They hold the records that we are searching for as genealogists. Do you know how to use these repositories for the utmost benefit to your research? This presentation will show the genealogist some constructive Do's and Don'ts to help make the most of a visit to any library and archive.
