Learn How to Trace Your Family History

Is it possible you may have a millionaire, a discoverer, a war hero or an outlaw in your family tree? Come to "Learn How to Trace Your Family History" and find out how to find out! In conjunction with the bookmobile's regularly scheduled visit to the Casa Helotes Senior Center (12070 Leslie Rd. in Helotes), we'll be bringing a special guest on Nov. 30. Frank Faulkner, Jr., the manager of San Antonio Public Library's Texana/Genealogy Department, will talk about the basics of genealogy. "Learn How to Trace Your Family History" will start at 12:30. Everyone is welcome to attend this free program.

Those of you who heard Mr. Faulkner talk about San Antonio history at Casa Helotes this past summer know what a wonderful speaker he is. Come on out and hear him again--and tell your neighbors!
