💎Elevenses with Lisa Episode 46:
One thing that so many of us have in common is a connection, on some branch of our family tree, to Pennsylvania. Whether one of your branches extends back to the early founding of the Pennsylvania colony in 1681, or one of your ancestors was one of the hundreds of thousands who arrived through the port of Philadelphia, the State Library has much to offer.

In this week's free live webinar show I'll be joined by two librarians from the library for a look at their collections and specifically what's available through their website.

If you can't make it to the live show, check back for the video replay after the show airs.
