Hickory Public Library, 375 Third St. NE Hickory, NC 28601. Telephone: 828-304-0500, ext 234 (North Carolina Room) We will host a workshop presented by Mr. Tim Rackley titled "Finding a Needle in the Haystack" The "Haystack" is really the US Federal Census before 1850. The "Needle" is really their parents. As all of us know, by now, the census before 1850 listed only the Head of the Household by name, slotting the others by gender and age. Tim has a method of narrowing a list of possible parents down to a probable parent. Join us! No fee and no registration is necessary. First come first served. Hope to see all of you there.
