One source of vital information about your ancestors who lived in the U.S. is church and synagogue records.  Sunny Morton, genealogist and author, will share some stories from her own research using church records for genealogical research.  The History and Genealogy Section will mount an exhibit of materials from the General Collections.  Some copies of the book How to Find Your Family History in U.S. Church Records:  a Genealogist’s Guide will be available for purchase and signing.
