Local Lore or Family Facts? Using Mug Books for Genealogy, a Brown Bag Program In-Person
Community histories or mug books are valued by family historians because they often contain biographical sketches, historical photos, and community narratives. But how do you find these books and are they trusted sources? Join Genealogy Librarian, Hannah Kubacak, in exploring strategies for getting the most out of these resources. This class will also equip you with the critical skills to evaluate the accuracy of information found in community histories. Learn how to identify potential biases, inconsistencies, and errors, and how to corroborate information from multiple sources.
