When patrons come to for help with genealogy questions, do you find yourself getting frustrated by the lack of sources available to you? Are you tired of giving the once hopeful, now dejected information seekers referral advice that may or may not lead them anywhere? Then this workshop is just what you need . There is an amazing wealth of genealogical information on the Web, and this hands-on laboratory/lecture will teach you how to find it.
