Due to an encouraging response from the public, the Blue Hill Public Library will host two more “Drop-In Genealogy Help Desks” on Saturdays July 14th and 28th, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the library’s main room next to the reference desk. Local expert Liffey Thorpe will be on hand to answer questions from the public about library and online resources for doing genealogy research, as well as to offer advice on particular issues or “brick walls.” Participants are encouraged to come with focused questions.
Liffey Thorpe has been doing genealogy for many years. She has taken courses at Boston University and Salt Lake Community College, and recently received certification from the Board for Certification of Genealogists in Washington, D.C. She holds a doctorate in Classics from Stanford University. For more information call the library at 374-5515.
