Come to the library to meet in person or use the information in your emailed invitation to meet via your telephone or device.
Presenter: Eric Migdal
Eric has been doing family history research for 30 years, assisting clients with family tree building, DNA test analysis, safely and effectively contacting unknown family members. As an adoptee, he spent many years searching for his biological family with very few results. His starting information was wrong and the assumptions he made were incorrect. He used DNA testing to assist him with finding the truth about his family and it ultimately led him to the correct family.
Program Description: This program covers information about ethnicity and migration, family name changes and family names sequences.

African American Burial Sites: Investigation, Identification, Preservation & Commemoration (Program)
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Hybrid Meeting - Doris Wood Branch Library, 180 S 3rd St, Batavia and Virtual Meeting
Come to the library to meet in person or use the information in your emailed invitation to meet via your telephone or device.
Presenter: Hillary Delaney
Hillary Delaney serves as the lead researcher for the African Americans in Boone County History initiatives at Boone County Public Library's Archive and History Center. She has documented hundreds of Underground Railroad incidents and genealogical data items for thousands of individuals once enslaved in Boone County and across Kentucky. Projects developed from this work include: The Underground Railroad in Boone County bus tour (a National Park Service Network to Freedom program,) historic roadside markers in Indiana and Kentucky, African American cemetery documentation in Boone County, the African Americans in the Kentucky Borderlands database and the “Legacy of Enslaved Mothers” short film project. Her work has received local, regional and national recognition.
Program Description:
Cemetery preservation is challenging under the best of circumstances, requiring funding, manpower and constant attention to keep the final resting places of the dead in respectful shape. The forces of development, climate events and neglect are constantly at odds with the goals of loved ones, descendants, and preservationists. Black cemeteries face all of these forces plus the additional hurdles of missing or damaged markers, out-migration of families, lack of advocacy, the redlining of historic Black neighborhoods and a deficit in pre- and post-Emancipation record- keeping. Join Hillary Delaney as she unpacks these problems and gives examples of how to find, identify and memorialize the burial sites of African Americans in any community.
