Every
month, the first week of the month, I list genealogical events being held in the
Northwest Suburbs of Chicago for about the next six weeks. Most events are free, but sometimes you will
need to register in advance, especially sponsored by a public library. If it is sponsored by a genealogy society,
you probably will not need to register unless there is a fee (which is
designated by the $). Check the website
listed for more information.
If
you’d like individual help, the following public libraries’ websites state that
you may make an appointment with a librarian or genealogy volunteer:
Schaumburg, Palatine, Arlington Heights and Mount Prospect. On August 9, and
September 14, at 3-4:30 PM, the Indian Trails Library, Wheeling has a genealogy
question and answer session with the librarian. Due to their 2016 remodeling,
starting in May, the meetings will be held at 70 W Dundee Road, Buffalo Grove. The Palatine Public Library holds a group
Thursday evenings at 7:00 on August 4 and September 1. The Bloomingdale Public
Library has a similar group on the fourth Thursdays of the month at 6:30 PM. Check
the library websites for more details.
If
you know of any events that I have missed, please email me. I hope you see at an
event you’d like to attend.
