CHESHIRE â Finding out more about your family history was made easier with Carol Ansel, director of the Godfrey Memorial Library in Middletown, in her February presentation, âWhat can we learn from the Census.â
Cheshire Public Library hosted the online program during which Ansel gave examples from her own family history using census records. The approach was a clever way to help people find their way as they researched their lineage. Ansel gave the audience some tools to use, and at the same time, offered a wider picture of America by spotlighting the countryâs historical timeline taken from the pages of the U.S. census.
