With the advent of more and more genealogical data making its way to various locations on the internet, it is not uncommon for family historians and fledgling genealogists to become frustrated and confused when searching for specific bits of family history information on the internet.

This was supposed to be the Age of the Information Superhighway.  Instead, even as so many records are coming on-line, doors are being slammed shut on so many more—often records that aren’t and won’t be online, now and perhaps ever.

On Monday, January 8, 2018, the Wabash Valley Genealogy Society will be presenting a program entitled “Roadblocks, Red Lights and Detours” presented by Judy G. Russell, also known as The Legal Genealogist.  The program will be held in the lower level conference rooms (A, B & C) of the Vigo County Public Library in Terre Haute, IN.  Doors open at 6:00 pm for refreshments and socializing with the formal program running from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.
