Due to a good response from the public, the Blue Hill Public Library will host two more “Drop-In Genealogy Help Desks” on Saturdays October 6th and 20th, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the library’s main room next to the reference desk. They will be the last of the year. Local expert Liffey Thorpe will be on hand to answer questions from the public on library and online resources for doing genealogy research, as well as 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.
