Join us at the Frankfort Community Public Library for Amber Oldenburg’s presentation, “Midwest Archives: Worthy of More than Just a Flyover,” on September 13 at 2:30 p.m.

The Midwest is comprised of 11 states containing a vast array of collections. Between federal, state, local, and university archives, the number of places to find records can be overwhelming to the family historian. This session will explore important Midwest archives while highlighting select records found within each repository.

Oldenburg is a genealogist, lecturer, and social media manager with a degree in Family History Research from Brigham Young University-Idaho. She currently serves as an online instructor for BYU Pathway. Her specialties are Midwest and Great Lakes states research.

The cost of this program is $5, and registration is required. To register, call (765) 654-8746, visit myfcpl.org/calendar, or stop by the library. For more information, contact Genealogy Manager Jill Garrison at (765) 654-8746, ext. 1137 or jgarrison@myfcpl.org.
