Genealogy: Building Your Family History

• Date: Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024

• Time: 3:00 PM

• Location: Arts at The Palace, 19 Utica St., Hamilton, NY 13346

In this lecture, the  presenter will be discussing genealogy, hoping to inspire attendees to preserve and share their family histories. Information will be provided on how to get started or move to the next level, where to look, how to document, and ultimately how to share the work.

Presenter: Laura Wayland-Smith Hatch, an Oneida Community descendant, was introduced to genealogy when she was a small girl. She has published over 20 books documenting family histories, memoirs, photographs, and even cemeteries. Retired, she’s busier than ever, “giving back” to the Oneida Community Mansion House and her local historical society.

Annual memberships are available for both individuals and families.  However, all presentations are open to non-members for a $10 fee.
