Finding Your Delaware County Roots

Saturday, March 9 @ 1pm

DCHA to Host Workshop on Genealogical Research

The Delaware County Historical Association will present “Finding Your Delaware County Roots” on Saturday, March 9 from 1 to 3 pm. This is the first in a revolving three-part series of genealogical workshops (one per year) conducted by DCHA Archivist Ray LaFever. The workshop will be held at DCHA on State Route 10 north of Delhi.

Come learn about genealogical resources here at DCHA and elsewhere. Ray will discuss recommended approaches to researching your ancestors using DCHA’s archives, other resources in Delaware County and resources beyond the county, including in print and on-line. 

As well as an experienced amateur genealogist, Ray has been a professional archivist since graduating from SUNY Albany in 1985. After spending five years working for local governments in Albany and Dutchess counties, he spent 20 years working for the New York State Archives, providing advisory services on archives and records management to local governments and local historical societies.

Registration required by March 7. Cost: $10 per person. Call 607-746-3849 or e-mail dchadelhi@gmail.com to register.
