Wilson. It's a chance to discuss your family history challenges in a
group environment and get tips for new approaches. It's also a chance
to help others solve their family mysteries. It will be
held on Tuesday, January 25, at 7 p.m., at Bull Run Regional Library's

experience.

CENSUS RESEARCH: MAXIMIZING YOUR RESULTS
Presented by Tish Como
Most genealogists routinely trace their ancestors back through the
federal census records, but few take the time to thoroughly study and
evaluate what they find - or what they don't find! RELIC's Tish Como
will provide examples and offer suggestions about how to glean all of
the information this essential genealogical resource has to offer.
The program will be presented twice at Bull Run Regional Library: on
Tuesday, February 22, at 7 p.m. and on Thursday, February 24, at 11 a.m.
Please call (703) 792-4540 or send a message to [log in to unmask] to
