Genealogists

The Northwest Arkansas Genealogical Society will meet at 6 p.m. Nov. 28 at the Bentonville Public Library, 405 S. Main St.

Nancy Feroe, society past president, will present a program on the Trail of Tears and the national association conference she attended in September in North Carolina. The public is welcome.

Additionally, the group will have its 50th anniversary celebration from 1 to 3 p.m. Dec. 3, also at the Bentonville Public Library. Anyone interested is encouraged to attend.

The society has worked for over 50 years to help researchers discover the stories of their ancestors and build their family trees. The celebration will include the program “Tracking Your Ancestors Through Multiple Records” given by Patti Lee Hobbs at 1 p.m., followed by a tour of the genealogy library. She will guide participants through the logical progression of genealogical research, first by establishing a broad timeline of their locations, using censuses, and then by doing a deeper dive into courthouse records where most genealogical problems can be solved. Learn about tried-and-true methodologies that go beyond database abilities to click and add people to family trees.

Hobbs is a lifetime…
