Blue Hill Public Library will offer a “Drop-In Genealogy Help Desk” session on a weekday—Wednesday, March 27th at 2:00 PM. Local expert Liffey Thorpe will be on hand in the library’s main room to answer questions from the public on library and online resources for doing genealogy research as well as offer advice on particular issues or “brick walls.” Participants are encouraged to come with focused questions. If the weekday time proves popular the library will consider doing more in the future.
Liffey Thorpe has been doing genealogy for many years. She has taken courses at Boston University and Salt Lake Community College. She recently received certification from the Board for Certification of Genealogists in Washington, D.C. She holds a doctorate in Classics from Stanford University.
