Due to a good response from the public so far this summer, the Blue Hill Public Library will host four more “Drop-In Genealogy Help Desks” on Saturdays August 11th and 25th, and September 8th and 22nd, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 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 on 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. She recently received certification from the Board for Certification of Genealogists in Washington, D.C.. She holds a doctorate in Classics from Stanford University.
