Genealogy Sessions at the Wautoma Public Library

     Genealogy sessions will be held at the Wautoma Public library for those interested in learning about what we have at the library and the rules for using the genealogy computer. We want to get to know 
what questions you may have and what you need help with. Learn about free websites, and where to find information to help your family research. Beginners and experienced genealogists of all ages are invited. 
Our genealogist will get to know what you need help with and what lessons to have ready. To be notified of upcoming classes you may contact Dee Zillhart with any questions at email btchace@yahoo.com.
