We invite you to attend a special workshop presented by Eleanor Brinsko of Carlon Genealogical Services.

Midwesterners make up the heart of America. We live and work among the farmlands, the Great North Woods, and factories and industries. It’s time to take a look at the people who have called this place home by looking at the history of the region and its people, and where to find the documents to fill out our ancestors’ stories.

This event will take place in the New Glarus Village Hall Community Room at 319 2nd Street. This workshop is free and open to the public, and is presented in partnership with the New Glarus Public library.
