Family_historySOUTH BERWICK, MAINE -- A special workshop, "Researching and Writing Your Family's History," will be held on the second floor of the Counting House Museum at Sunday, March 4 at 1:00 pm. Presented by author Joseph Hardy, with genealogist Beth Tykodi, the event is free for members of the Old Berwick Historical Society, and new members are welcome to join at the door.  (Continued below)

 

A one-year membership donation is $20 per person or $30 for a family. Hardy, whose book, "Four American Stories: Emigration and the Lure of the West," was published this year, will explain how he discovered and developed the stories of his and his wife's grandparents and their ancestors.

He describes his book as a celebration of family history: the joy in learning about one's ancestors, the "aha" moments along the way, and the new connections made with one's extended family. A long-time resident of Wells, Hardy is also the author of "Settlement and Abandonment on Tatnic Hill."

Tykodi, a Dover resident who owns Tykodi Genealogy, will follow Hardy's talk with a presentation on genealogical research methods. Certified in genealogical research from Boston University, Tykodi has been studying genealogy for over 15 years and has experience researching family and property histories from the colonial period through the twentieth century. She specializes in French Canadian and Irish families that began their immigrant journey in New England.
