To GENEALIB subscribers:

I am happy to forward the following information written specifically for
GENEALIB by Angela Smith of KBYU regarding the new Ancestors series.

***

Ancestors, the highly successful PBS series, is back with an updated
format and 13 new episodes shot on location around the world.  The new
series emphasizes the world of records, making it an exciting research
tool for beginning and seasoned genealogists alike.  Whether your library
has an extensive collection of local history and genealogy records or
whether you get only an occasional query about family history, the
combination of exciting research stories and expert advice in this series
can help your patrons to get involved and to be successful in their search
for roots.

But Ancestors is more than simply a how-to PBS series.  The project
includes a number of educational materials, including: --an instructional
website, with links, downloadable research forms, and information about
record types (often as video clips!) --an online teacher's guide, designed
for grades 7-12 or community education programs --am instructional
guidebook, a step-by-step guide to the research process family historians
follow --instructional videos, designed especially for use in classrooms
and other teaching settings.

For more information on any of these items, or for broadcast dates and
times in your area, please visit us online at www.kbyu.org/ancestors

We encourage you to send this message to other librarians and genealogists
who may be interested in hearing about Ancestors.  We appreciate your help
in spreading the word and hope that this project will help your library
patrons and other researchers find the best ways to search for ancestors.
