The Wichita Genealogical Society's annual conference will be Saturday, October 12, at the Eugene M. Hughes Metropolitan Complex on 29th St. This year's conference includes lectures on using post office records for genealogy research and the five steps of genealogical proof. Guest speakers include Julie Miller, a Board-Certified Genealogist with more than 35 years genealogy experience; Randy Roberts, Curator of Special Collections and University Archivist at Pittsburg State University; and Michelle Enke, Local History Librarian at WPL. Registration forms are available here or at the library. The registration fee covers all lectures and handouts as well as morning snacks and buffet-style build-your-own-sandwich lunch. Visit the Wichita Genealogical Society's website for more information.
If you would like to research your ancestry, be sure to visit Andover Public Library's genealogy room, full of local history documents and genealogy books. If you need assistance, make an appointment with our genealogy volunteer, Mary Roth, who is available Mondays and Thursdays from 2:00PM to 4:00PM.
You can continue your genealogy research on your computer at home by using your Kansas Library Card to access HeritageQuest or Genealogy Connect, two of the databases available to Kansas residents. Just bring your Kansas driver's license or state ID to the library to sign up for your free Kansas Library Card.
