The Delaware County Historical Association (DCHA), State Route 10 north of Delhi, will host a program called “Finding Your Delaware County Roots” Saturday, March 9 from 1 to 3 p.m. This program will be the first in a revolving three-part series of genealogical workshops (one per year) conducted by DCHA Archivist Ray LaFever.
Come to learn about genealogical resources here at DCHA and elsewhere. LaFever will discuss recommended approaches to researching your ancestors using DCHA’s archives, other resources in Delaware County and resources beyond the county, including in print and on-line.
As well as an experienced amateur genealogist, LaFever has been a professional archivist since graduating from SUNY Albany in 1985. After spending five years working for local governments in Albany and Dutchess counties, he worked for 20 years for the New York State Archives, providing advisory services on archives and records management to local governments and local historical societies.
Registration required by March 7. Cost is $10 per person. Call 607-746-3849 or email dchadelhi@gmail.com to register.
