Working on your family tree? Check out our genealogy lectures and discussions on Wednesday evenings in October, Family History Month, at Harold Washington Library Center.
Presented by HWLC's Business, History and Science Division, this series of events features local genealogy experts and highlights online and physical resources.
CPL offers a number of resources to help family researchers. For example, with HeritageQuest Online, you may search the U.S. Federal Census, family and local histories and city directories, Revolutionary War records, Freedman's Bank records and genealogical periodicals. We also have books for those beginning their research and a full run of Chicago newspapers.
