ANALYZING ESTATE INVENTORIES FOR GENEALOGICAL INFORMATION Presented by Charlotte Cain The contents of a deceased ancestor's household (such items as furniture, tools, livestock, clothing, and books) may provide detailed information about his or her daily life and occupations. In addition, learning who bought or inherited those goods may help determine family relationships. Local researcher Charlotte Cain will demonstrate how a thorough examination of estate inventories can hold important clues for one's family history at a program at Bull Run Regional Library on Thursday, December 9, at 11 a.m. To reserve a seat for this free program, contact RELIC at (703) 792-4540 or at [log in to unmask] GENEALOGY 101 Presented by Beverly Veness "Genealogy 101" will highlight the numerous free genealogical resources available at RELIC and will explore basic techniques for tracking ancestors.
