Genealogy Seminar to be Held at Museum
 
CULPEPER, VA – The Museum of Culpeper History will host a genealogy seminar the evening of Tuesday, May 21 as part of their ongoing lecture series.  The program will provide an introduction to researching family history for newcomers, as well as insights to available resources that could benefit those with prior experience.
 
The program will touch on researching Revolutionary War ancestors in a nod to the ongoing VA250 commemoration of the 250th anniversary of Virginia’s participation in the independence movement.
 
The seminar will be led by Bill and Cat Schwetke, a husband and wife team who have performed extensive research on their own family trees for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution and Daughters of the American Revolution, respectively.  After uncovering their own roots, they have devoted time to assisting others track down their own family history.


The program cost is $5 per person, with museum members attending free.  More information is available on the museum’s website at www.culpepermuseum.com or by calling 540-829-1749 or email director@culpepermuseum.com.
