22nd Annual Genealogy Lock In
Friday, October 20, 2023

Join us at this annual Family History Month free-event, where over fifty libraries and genealogy societies from across the state and beyond are coming together to learn more about genealogy. Unlock the mysteries of your family history and connect with your ancestors like never before.

This year, this event is being held virtually. The programs are only available Friday, October 20, 2023. They will not be viewable after this event. However, the HCGS library is open that day and if anyone wants to come to the library to watch any of the sessions they may do so during our normal operating hours.

Speakers and program…

Organizers: Central Texas Genealogical Society, The Waco-McLennan County Library, Genealogy of North Texas Genealogy Center, and Texas State Genealogical Society.
