Questions for Genealogy Patrons

1-hour Audio Conference with Joanne McCarthy - $85.00

We’ve all been stumped by that eager new hobbyist – the genealogist –  
who has a million and one questions on how to research his or her  
family’s history. Without knowing the most common research tools and  
resources, answering those complicated “surname- driven” questions can  
be daunting for anyone sitting behind the Information Desk. In this  
session, you will learn effective reference interview techniques and  
strategies to assist patrons with their ancestral quests.
