Interested in dabbling in your family history, but don’t know where to begin? Want to know more about
collecting family stories or songs? Curious about how to preserve your family memories in scrapbooks? The
Island Family Trees Program will answer these questions and more.
This program is designed to provide Island seniors with an introduction to preserving family history by
offering four classes in beginning genealogy, storytelling, scrap booking and history. A different area is
discussed at each two-hour session. The program is free of charge to seniors (age 50 and over).
Feature speakers and facilitators currently booked include Georges Arsenault, Boyde Beck, Sandra Bruce,
John Cousins, George Dalton, Fred Horne, Patrick Ledwell, Jill MacMicken Wilson, William MacMicken,
Noella Richard, "Dutch" Thompson, Julie Watson, and David Weale.
Seniors are asked to register for each location directly with the PEI Senior Citizens’ Federation, 368-9008
