This program will take place on the second and third floor of CLP-Main.
Brick Wall Sessions give you one-on-one help from a volunteer from a local genealogical society. These in-person sessions are not for finding living relatives, but they can help with breaking through a brick wall several generations back. Please register below, and we will be in touch with your appointment time.
Anyone unable to book a Brick Wall session on Genealogy Day is invited to make an appointment with a CLP librarian for help on other days — visit the library’s Appointments page and select Family & Local History.
