We apologize for the inconvenience, but  due to staff changes, the Genealogy Workshops have been cancelled. Based on their popularity, the Newport Beach Public Library looks forward to offering similar classes in the future.

With millions of American citizens having served in the armed forces dating back to the colonial era, it is likely that one or more of your ancestors served or were eligible for service at some time in the military. This class will delve into draft, enlistment, service, casualty, and pension records that provide a wealth of genealogical information about our ancestors as well as a greater appreciation of the service they provided. This class will not include the use of Media Lab computers.

Cancellations:  Due to limited seating in the Media Lab, we kindly request that registrants unable to attend the class contact the instructor with advanced notice so that the instructor may cancel your registration and make your seat available to another attendee.
