    1. [NEBRRoots] Making Sense of the Census, milking it for clues
    2. The next class presented by Greater Omaha Genealogical Society and the W. Dale Clark History-Social Science Department will be held March 20 at the Mormon Trail Center, 3215 State Street (because we outgrew the space in any of the library classrooms). It will start at 9:00 AM and be over about noon or a bit before. The classes are free, but pre-registration is required so we can have adequate handouts prepared. Pre-register by email at: Genclass@aol.com or by calling Merrily 706-1453 or Sandy 344-2887. Twice in the 7 years we've been holding these classes, we've reunited cousins who had never met before. Will you be one of the next to find kin at these classes? 365+1 Genealogy Tips will be available at the classes if you saw a flyer and wanted to get a copy. All proceeds from the sale of this generic (no year given so it can be used any year) calendar book with a genealogy hint for every day go to buy materials for the W. Dale Clark Library so that we can all find more ancestors. (We're up to 52% of the released 15,208 federal census reels...purchased primarily with donations and projects like the calendar book. There will be handouts on what's available at the library at the class.) We're also hoping to have a laminated "Handy Census Reference" sheet available by then for sale also. (So you can figure out which questions were asked without having to go clear to the top of the page and lose your place, or not be able to read it because it's blurry, all the questions will be by year on one double sided sheet, laminated so it will hold up longer.) There will also be some family group sheets and pedigree charts available for sale, for those who don't have a genealogy computer program, so bring your genealogy inclined friends that may not be on the list...just have them pre-register also.
