Genealogy Workshop


workshop, “Genealogy for Beginners” will be held at the North Canton
Public Library in conjunction with the Smithsonian exhibition Journey Stories. The event will be held
at the library Oct. 26 at 2 p.m. Stephanie Houck, a genealogy librarian at

Houck will help members of the community
research their families’ genealogy. She will explain how to get started,

North Canton Public Library and Heritage
Society have teamed up to host the workshop to accompany the Heritage Society’s
exhibition, Journey Stories. The display,
from the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street Program, will allow
visitors to look where others have traveled, and recall how their own family
came to the United States, whether by ship or jet plane. The stories of
travelers express hope, the grim realities of forced migration, difficult
journeys, and the thrills of personal travel.



The exhibition opened Sept. 23 and will run
through Oct. 31.  To view Journey Stories
visit the Heritage Society at 185 Ream Ave. NW in North Canton, across the
street from the North Canton Public Library.
