The family history day is scheduled for 1:00–5:00 p.m. at the Oakland FamilySearch Library, 4766 Lincoln Avenue, Oakland, California. There is no charge to participate, but we encourage you to preregister, so that we will have a better idea of how many attendees to expect.
A short introductory workshop will be the first stop for new researchers, who will then receive help in creating their initial family tree information. After that they will enjoy one-on-one assistance in learning how to do research and and look for documents about their family members. More experienced researchers will have the option of going through the workshop or heading directly to the one-on-one research stage. It's a good idea for all attendees to bring copies (please leave your originals safely at home!) of any documents you already have with you, so they can be used as references during your searches.
I will be one of the AAGSNC volunteers helping people with one-on-one research. I'm looking forward to assisting attendees in doing research and hope we make some wonderful discoveries.
