A "Beginning Genealogy" class will be held on the third Saturday in April with instruction starting promptly at 9:00 am until 10:30. No materials are required; however, pre-registration is required and is limited to the number of computers in the Center. If you are interested in attending a class, please email us at il_crystallake@ldsmail.net as soon as possible to reserve a space.
Space is limited, so if the class is full, we will contact you and put your name on a waiting list. Very often people have to cancel, so we could call you to fill the empty slot.
