Branching Out 2026 Genealogy Classes At the Genealogy & Local History Library Thursdays, October 8 and 15; November 12 and 19; December 10 and 17, 2026, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. On the second Thursday of each month, library staff present a discussion of a genealogy research topic. On the third Thursday of the month, we gather around the fireplace, and each of us gets a chance to share family stories, photos, and projects. We learn from each other and have some laughs too! Branching Out classes and discussion group meetings will continue throughout 2026 on the second and third Thursdays of each month.
