The La Crosse Area Genealogical Society will help you get started if you are new to genealogy, the La Crosse Public Library Archives provides access to library resources on the net and at the local Library, and volunteers from the local LDS Family History Center will be available to provide assistance locating genealogical records.
The goal of the Irishfest La Crosse Genealogy venue is to promote the careful study of Irish genealogy and heritage. Our emphasis is on Ireland, but we will include others of Celtic descent. If your heritage is of some other country, you will not be turned away. Visit us at Irishfest-La Crosse! The genealogy area includes eight wireless internet terminals (donated by Gundersen Health System, Technical Support compliments of the Geek Squad, internet service provided compliments of CenturyLink) and volunteers to assist you. |
