 GENEALOGY

Program showcases using church records for info


Church records, many of which predate government-required records, can help find missing branches of family trees.

An upcoming program at the Dela­ware Public Archives, starting at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 4, will feature genealogist Nancy Lyons presenting information how to use church documents – such as membership, baptism, marriage, death and burial records – to access some of the earliest genealogical information available.

The free program will be held at the Archives at 121 Duke of York St. in Dover.

Lyons, chair of the Delaware Genea­logical Society Education Committee, founded the Irish Family History Re­search
Group and is a longtime volun­teer at the Mormon Family History Center in Wilmington.

For more information about the program, contact Jessica Carmichael at 744-5081 or jessica.carmi­chael@state.de.us.
