Surry Community College will host a hands-on Genealogy Workshop for Beginners on Friday, Nov. 8, from 10 a.m. to noon. This event will be held in the Carlos Surratt Genealogy room on the second floor of the SCC Library in Dobson. The workshop is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is required.

Designed for those who are new to genealogical research, the workshop will provide a basic overview of the many resources available through Surry Community College, as well as those available in the community and online. Participants will also learn how to use these resources and how to determine the best way to research their own family history.

Due to the hands-on nature of the workshop, space is limited to 10 participants. For more information or to register, please contact Sebrina Mabe, Library and Archives Services Assistant, at (336) 386-3459 or mabesc@surry.edu.
