October is Family History Month, and the Allen County Public Library’s Genealogy Center is offering programs to celebrate.

ACPL and its renowned genealogy center are hosting free events throughout the month. Highlights of this year’s celebration include:

• Chasing Ghosts: The Story of the Ghost Army
• Transform Your Activity Calendar & Really Stand Out: Innovative Tools to Boost Joy, Engagement, and Reminiscence in Eldercare
• Making the Records Talk

“Family History Month is a wonderful time to engage in finding more of our families’ stories, that are the fabric of our lives, the stories that make us who we are. We are excited to provide resources and programs that bring history to life, whether through personal discovery, networking, or learning from experts.”

 - Director of Special Collections and Genealogy Center Manager Curt Witcher said.

Organizers say all activities will be open to the public and held at the main library branch in downtown Fort Wayne, unless otherwise noted.
