SUMMARY:Family Research Half-day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to discover your family’s history! Come to a free family research workshop on Saturday\, April 15\, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.\, at the Main County Library in Canton. The class\, presented by the Van Zandt County Genealogical Society\, features Donna Toups\, researcher and librarian at the Wills Point LDS Family History Center. Beginner researchers are the focus of the class\, but it will also give information of vital importance to advanced genealogists. Refreshments will be served\, and attendees don’t have to be a member of the Genealogical Society to attend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDonna Toups has taught Genealogical Society classes in the past\, and has charmed and informed students by focusing on the sheer fun of family research. Bring your laptop and smartphone if you have them; the workshop will include computer research and the old-fashioned\, non electronic kind. It will also offer attendees the chance to share stories with other researchers\, and to get specific tips from Ms. Toups. \n\n\n\nThere has never been a better time to get involved in genealogy\, or to sharpen your skills if you’ve already started. The Van Zandt County Genealogical Society hopes the April 15 workshop will help inspire researchers\, both young and old\, new and experienced.

DESCRIPTION:In-person & Virtual Event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenealogy Expert Patti Gillespie\, owner of Family Lines and Stories\, will help genealogy researchers better understand how to locate their ancestor’s Scottish origins.

SUMMARY:Van Zandt County - 175th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Van Zandt County will soon be 175 years old. The Van Zandt County Genealogical Society\, in partnership with other local history groups\, will hold a birthday party for the county on Saturday\, March 25\, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.\, at the Blackwell House Museum and the main County Library (next door) 317 First Monday Lane\, in Canton. The celebration is open to the public and free. Tours of the museum will be provided\, and there will be opportunities to learn about some of the early settlers of the county. Refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\nThe Texas State Legislature passed a law creating Van Zandt County on March 20\, 1848. The new county was named after Isaac Van Zandt (1813-1847)\, a country store owner who became a legislator and diplomat for the Texas Republic; his greatest achievement was to help ensure that Texas joined the United States. Van Zandt died of yellow fever in 1847 while campaigning to be Governor. Although Van Zandt never lived in his namesake place\, the creation of the county was a testament to the gratitude of legislators for his service to Texas during his short life. \n\n\n\nThe March 25 birthday celebration will honor the county and the pioneers who made East Texas succeed. A highlight will be the celebration of the life of Elvira Engledow\, an early settler of Van Zandt County and a Citizen of the Republic of Texas. Many organizations\, such as the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and the Van Zandt County Historical Commission\, will join with the Genealogical Society in this event. The hosts will be wearing their 1800s pioneer clothes\, and the public is encouraged to do so. Come join the fun\, learn some history\, have some birthday cake! Remember\, the party will be happening at both the Blackwell House and next door at the main county library in Canton\, Texas. \n\n\n\n\nMORE INFO
