Guest speaker to discuss genealogy at SSCC South Campus

Interested in learning more about your family history? Guest speaker Amy Werring will discuss "Beginning Genealogy" at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 21, in the Learning Resources Center on Southern State Community College's South Campus, 12681 U.S. Route 62, Sardinia. Werring is a member of the South Campus LRC staff. 
Ten years ago, Werring's husband bought her a computer software program called Family Tree Maker. It was the catalyst to start her on a journey of discovery. 
"The search is what attracts me to the hobby, not the end result," Werring said. 
With the help of many other researchers, Werring has compiled several file cabinets full of documentation on her and her husband's families' histories. 
"This, of course, is not what my husband had in mind when he made that purchase!" she said. 
Today she continues to research and compile information on the primary and related family lines. 
The "Beginning Genealogy" presentation is free to the public. For more information, please call Werring at 1-800-628-7722, ext. 3680, or email awerring@sscc.edu.
