Perry’s Lifelong Learners to Focus on Genealogy Today

Those who are looking to learn more about their family tree are invited to stop by the Perry Public Library this morning for this month’s Lifelong Learners Coffee.

Representatives from the Iowa Genealogical Society will host a workshop starting at 9am in the large meeting room.

Library Director Mary Murphy says coming prepared will help attendees get the most out of the workshop.

“They encourage you to bring some of your history and they’ll help you organize it and show you how to access different websites.”

There is no cost to attend and the program is open to the public.
