For the first time, the Delaware Public Archives is presenting a program to help researchers find their French ancestors.  Ginou Berkowitch will discuss her experiences conducting genealogical research in France’s archival holdings.  Among the notarial documents and judicial records that are prominent in the French holdings, a researcher can locate wills, inventories, land deeds, marriage contracts, and other valuable genealogical resources.  For those genealogists who can’t travel to France for their research, information will be provided about how to search for French ancestors through the resources of the Latter Day Saints.

The program is free to the public and no reservations are required.  The Delaware Public Archives is located at 121 Duke of York Street in Dover, Delaware.  For more information contact Tom Summers (302) 744-5047 or e-mail Thomas Summers.
