Event Details

Attend Virtually or watch in person at Lincoln Branch!

Family history starts with stories and is supported by documents, funeral cards, newspaper clippings, census records and more.  Join us for the first of the series "Family History at Lincoln Branch" to learn the basic steps in starting African American research, hear about genealogical resources available, and start researching your family history.  

Nationally recognized researcher, Ari Wilkins, will work with Peoria Public Library staff to show you the process of collecting family history. Ari will be presenting virtually, and the Library will host a "watch party" at Lincoln Branch. 

We invite all interested in family history to attend virtually or in person!

Please register below to receive the Zoom link. There is no need to register if you are attending in person.

Look for "meet up" research sessions in the coming months at Lincoln!
