Have you ever wondered where your ancestors came from?  Are you curious about their military service or medical history? Learn the basics of beginning your genealogy research at a special introductory program, “Researching Your Family History,” on Thursday, March 9, from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon, in the Meeting Room at Fort Bend County Libraries’ Bob Lutts Fulshear/Simonton Branch Library, 8100 FM 359 South in Fulshear.

In this introductory class, beginning family-history researchers will learn how to start their research. Library staff will provide a basic introduction to many of the resources that are available to the beginning genealogical researcher. Items that will be introduced include print resources, materials that are available on microfilm, and basic online tools such as the Ancestry.com and Heritage Quest USA databases. Get tips on ways to search the databases, and learn how to fill out basic genealogical forms.

Anyone interested in more local-history or genealogy resources is encouraged to join the Family-History Research FBCL Facebook group page. Managed by the Genealogy & Local History department at George Memorial Library in Richmond, the group page is an interactive, online forum for sharing genealogy tips and resources, as well as local-history stories.

The free program is in-person and open to the public. For more information, see the Fort Bend County Libraries website (www.fortbend.lib.tx.us), or call the Bob Lutts Fulshear/Simonton Branch Library (281-633-4675).

10:15 am: Musical Storytelling Performance For Children At Bob Lutts Fulshear/Simonton Branch Library

–
Mar 16, 2023

Fort Bend County Libraries invites children entering grades K through 12 to a musical performance of “Storytelling Through Sound” on Thursday, March 16, from 10:15 to 11:00 am, in the Meeting Room at the Bob Lutts Fulshear/Simonton Branch Library, located at 8100 FM 359 South in Fulshear.

Music tells stories, just like books. In this interactive musical storytelling performance, Houston harpist Hope Cowan will demonstrate the techniques that composers use to tell their stories. Children will then have an opportunity to invent their own sound story and hear it come to life on the harp.

One of Houston’s most sought-after event harpists, Cowan is principal harpist with the Symphony of Southeast Texas and is a founding member of both the Deciduous and the Lynx Trios. Current president of the Greater Houston Chapter of the American Harp Society, she is on the faculty for the Houston Summer Harp Festival and is an alumna of the Da Camera Youth Artist program.

Made possible by a grant through Young Audiences of Houston, the performance is free and open to the public. Registration is not required, but seating is limited to the first 50 guests.

For more information, see the Fort Bend County Libraries website (www.fortbend.lib.tx.us), or call the Bob Lutts Fulshear/Simonton Branch Library (281-633-4675).
