Register now for the Georgia Room’s upcoming genealogy program presented by Greenblatt Library’s curator Renee Sharrock. Learn how to locate and use medical records to uncover clues about deceased loved ones. Genealogy databases like Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org are great for finding census records as well as birth, marriage and death records, but medical records can provide an additional avenue of inquiry when researching your ancestors, especially for those curious about how disease and illness travel along family lines.
Greenblatt Library at Augusta University preserves historical collections related to the history of the Medical College of Georgia, including medical artifacts, documents, manuscripts, and campus publications. Renee Sharrock manages the collections and assists family historians searching for information about ancestors with Augusta connections, particularly with regard to Augusta’s medical history.
The program is scheduled for Saturday, September 28th at 11:00 am. Registration is required, as seating is limited. Please call 706-826-1511 or email genealogy@arcpls.org to register.
