New technologies for genealogy research program set Sept. 3

At 10:30 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 3, Shamele Jordon will present a program focusing on new technologies that have proven to be most useful for genealogy research. Through her own quest for her family's history, the presenter will discuss how she used new genealogical methods such as desktop applications, cloud technologies and mobile applications to find information about her ancestors.

Jordon is a researcher, lecturer and podcaster. A researcher for the PBS series, "Oprah's Roots: African American Lives Special" and "African American Lives II," Jordon has served as president of the African American Genealogy Group in Philadelphia, lectured at the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research in Birmingham, Ala., and been a board member of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania.

The program is free to the public and will last approximately one hour. No reservations are required.
