Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
As a result of attending the program, our patrons will have gained the knowledge they need to either continue existing family tree searches or get started from the very beginning on a search of past family members. Participant evaluation/surveys and anecdotal responses will be collected.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Attendees learned about all the different types of records available beyond birth and death records, including census information, church records, and information about siblings and other family members that might help to verify vague information. The attendees also learned about various online and local physical places to inquire about information.
Source of Additional Funds
The city of Fulda provided a meeting room at no cost for the program.
