The Huntsville Public Library and the Walker County Genealogy Society will host the annual Winter “Genealogy Lock-In”
on Sunday, February 9, from 12:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
According to City Librarian Linda Dodson, the event will be a fun, stimulating chance for genealogists of all experience
levels to learn and conduct their own research.
“The Lock-in is a special program for everyone interested in tracing their family history,” Dodson said. “Beginners to
experienced genealogists are welcome as our total focus is on genealogy. Genealogy Society members will be available
to give guidance on how to get started, and they’ll share their experiences and help you crawl over any brick walls you’ve
encountered in your research.”
Denise Tilson, Adult Programming Coordinator, said all library computers will be made available to genealogy
participants.
“We hope everyone will come and join us for our annual Winter Genealogy Event – even if this is your first time attempting
this type of research,” Tilson said. “The members of the Society are so knowledgeable and such fun to work with - they’re
even providing a light lunch and snacks.”
Attendees should bring all their genealogical research paperwork and their questions.
“If you’re not sure whether or not to bring the certain information, bring it anyway,” Tilson said. “First-time researchers
might be surprised to see just how many sources of genealogical information can be utilized, not to mention the vast
collection of resources already available at the library.”
Registration is preferred, but not required, for this free event. To register or for more information, call Tilson at (936) 291-
5471.
