Virtual Program: Immagini di Antenati: Photos of our Italian Ancestors
Tuesday, October 10 at 7pm

Photographs can bring our ancestors to life in exciting and moving ways. In some cases, a family photo may be the only remaining evidence of what someone looked like, while in other cases, they can provide significant genealogical clues, helping us to overcome those pesky brick walls. This talk will delve into all aspects of using historical photos in our genealogical research, along with introducing methods of *finding* photos of ancestors, and discussion of the very real challenges of photo organization.  .  Register online at glencovelibrary.org or call the Library at (516) 676-2130.

*This program is brought to you courtesy of the Genealogy Collective and is sponsored by the Locust Valley Library.

This program will be presented virtually via Zoom. The email entered at registration will be used to send the access information the day before or the morning of the program. If you do not receive the access information, please send an email to [email protected] to have it resent.
