Join us on April 25, 2024 via Zoom to hear Shelly Bishop present “Avoiding an Ancestor Identity Crisis”.  I’m sure we have all been in this situation as we research our ancestors, so we can surely use Shelly’s insight and help.

Shelley Bishop is a genealogical researcher, writer, and speaker with a passion for finding ancestors and interpreting the records that reveal their stories. Her business, Buckeye Family Trees, specializes in researching Ohio ancestors using a wide array of online resources as well as in-person work at the Ohio History Connection Archives, other repositories, and local courthouses. A graduate of the ProGen Study Program, she continually hones her skills at genealogical institutes and conferences. Shelley is President of the Great Lakes Chapter APG.

Explore the Genealogy Room at Morley Library – 10 a.m. to noon.

Spend a morning with your genealogy sleeves rolled-up and explore the resources in the genealogy room at Morley Library, Painesville to find answers to your genealogy questions.  Have a question or topic in mind as a starting point such as researching Civil War records.  Bring your notepad or laptop, camera or cell phone.  While I anticipate concentrating on the book sources in the room, if you think you might need to go on-line with one of the library computers, bring along your genealogy site passwords just in case.

September 11, 2025 session:

How did it get to be September already?  Time to get back into our genealogy research and what better way to do that than to get together with other like-minded folks!  Bring a genealogy question to this month’s “Sleeves-Up” session at Morley Library, Thursday, September 11, 10 a.m. to noon.  I’m going to pull the Revolutionary War books off the shelf and look for records for a couple new-found ancestors.  What will you do?
