Join us Wednesdays May 8 - May 29 for a 4-week introductory genealogy course just for millennials (born 1980 - 1996)! This program is for millennials who are interested in exploring their family history and who like to solve mysteries or a puzzle. Maureen Miller, secretary of the Sussex County Genealogical Society, is leading the discussion and looks forward to answering questions that arise each week as participants begin (or continue) the exploration of their family history.
