Bethel Center’s Re-Dedication Ceremony

A two-year undertaking is coming to fruition. A dedication and celebration of Bethel Center, formerly the Bethel A.M.E. Church, first dedicated in 1900, will be held on Monday, September 23, 2024. The time will be announced soon. The former church once served an African American congregation at the turn of the twentieth century. After closing its doors in the 1930s, it was disassembled and relocated to a farm in Pleasant Valley, where it became a wheelwright shop until 2022. Deemed no longer usable by its owners, the town of Mountain Lake Park quickly acted to save the church and relocate it to a beautiful shaded lot overlooking Maryland Highway in the Historic District of the town. Bethel Center will be a place to remember and honor the African American community that was an integral part of Garrett County's early years of development around the railroad industry. The dedication is free and open to the public. Distinguished guest speakers will make for a memorial kick-off event.

Finding Your Roots Online: The Where and When Fall 2024 Series

Virtual Only

Maryland Public Television and the Maryland Genealogical Society offer another beginner-to-intermediate genealogy workshop series this fall. Finding Your Roots Online: The Where and When consists of four (4) two-hour sessions that take a deep dive into online records that locate ancestors in a time and place. We’ll look at how to find and get the most out of vital records (birth, marriage, and death), census records, church and cemetery records, directories, and local histories. In addition, we’ll explore how to find substitute records when vital and census records don’t exist. Finally, participants will learn to use these critical resources like an expert researcher. Each session features a combination of lecture, small and large group discussion, question and answer time, and a homework assignment relating to your family search. Handouts are provided for each session. The sessions will be recorded and registrants will have unlimited access to those recordings. While this workshop series extends what we learned in the spring, that course is not a prerequisite for participating. This series is perfect for anyone looking to better understand the vast offerings of online family research and strategies for overcoming roadblocks.  Your family does not need Maryland ties to benefit from this course; however, the […]
