📜 Did you know? If you have at least one grandparent born in the US, there's a good chance you could trace your line back to a Revolutionary War Patriot!

Join the Middletown Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for a workshop series on discovering your Revolutionary War ancestry, right here at the library. You'll learn how to use FamilySearch public trees and the National Society DAR database to identify a potential Patriot ancestor.

🖥️ This workshop requires a laptop, and Part 2 requires attendance and completion of Part 1 (or equivalent).

Part 1 – Wednesday, Sept. 23
Learn how to correctly add yourself to FamilySearch and connect your family into the public tree. Bring what you have on your family tree — especially names, dates, and places of birth and death for your parents and all four grandparents.

Part 2 – Friday, Oct. 16
Use your connected tree alongside the DAR's Genealogical Research System to identify a potential Revolutionary War ancestor. This session helps you find a branch of the tree worth exploring further — traditional genealogy research will be needed to fully prove the line.

Part 3 (optional) – Monday, Nov. 16
Get one-on-one help continuing your DAR registration process, with Middletown DAR members on hand to assist.

Registration is required for all sessions. Sign up at mtpl.org!

Friendly reminder! 📚 All of our book return bins — including our two satellite locations at Croydon Hall (by the Senior Center) and Lincroft (at the Lincroft Little League Field, near the playground parking lot) — are for library materials only. No donations or personal items, please.

We truly appreciate every donation, but when they get mixed in with returns, it can slow things down, create overflow, and cause items to get misplaced. We gladly accept donations inside the library at the Circulation Desk.

Thank you for helping us to keep things running smoothly!
