Help is available from friendly, fun-loving people.

Leaders of the workshop are Bill Detmers of Normal, former president and resident genealogist of the Logan County Genealogical and Historical Society; Gary Freese, current genealogist of the same society; and Pat Glenn, former regent of the Abraham Lincoln Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
