Research Nights are open to the public. There is no charge or registration required. We look forward to seeing you!
April 10, 2013 - SPECIAL TOPIC: PERSI (Periodical Source Index)
At 7:00 pm, Champaign County Genealogical Society member, Carolyn Adams will demonstrate PERSI (Periodical Source Index), then index database created by the Allen County Public Library. PERSI indexes the numerous genealogy periodicals available here at the Champaign County Historical Archives, and many more held at the famous Fort Wayne, IN library. Since the FGS 2013 Conference is being held in Fort Wayne, it would be good to have a list of those articles ready before arriving at the library!
