Display your family history that you have worked on.  Answer questions from the public and perhaps connect with other researchers working on the same lines as you.
Volunteers will be available to assist you in beginning your family tree.  Also, we can try to help you climb the brick wall you've hit in your genealogy research or find old family stomping grounds you are looking for.  Please call ahead to reserve a table or send an email
