They Came to the Great Lakes: Sources of Michigan Ethnic History
with John Beatty a joint meeting of
Detroit Society for Genealogical Research and Oakland County Genealogical Society
11:00 am DSGR and OCGS Zoom webinar - Registration is required.
We are giving members of the two societies the first chance to register.
Guest registration will open soon.
This talk will examine the sources that exist about the various ethnic groups that came to Michigan, mainly focusing on the Allen County Public Library’s collection. We will look briefly at the histories of these groups and examine books, and occasionally, websites, that will allow one to do further research on these groups.
The annual joint meeting with the Oakland County Genealogical Society (OCGS) will be presented via the Zoom Webinar format. The program will begin at 11:00 am. They Came to the Great Lakes: Sources of Michigan Ethnic History in the Allen County Public Library will be presented by John Beatty, Senior Librarian, local historian, editor, book co-compiler, and photographer of the John D. Beatty Collection housed at the ACPL-Genealogy Center.
