The Genealogy Club meets once per month to discuss genealogy. All experience levels are welcome. The meetings often include a program or video followed by a discussion and sharing of ideas, resources, and advice. On occasion, a member of the group will provide the program for the group.

If a webinar or other online tool is used, it will be posted to the Club's Facebook Group within a few days of the meeting. The Club's Facebook site can be found as a "group" on the Library's Facebook site. Occasionally, the program will be streamed on Facebook Live. 

There is no official "club" to join; the Club is just a group of people interested in genealogy and sharing knowledge with others. Members are welcome to attend anytime they are able. The Club does not do genealogy or family trees for people.

The Barberton Inn, one of the most magnificent hotels in northern Ohio, occupied the entire block between Fourth Street NW, Fifth Street NW, Tuscarawas Avenue, and Park Avenue. 

Opening in 1895, the Barberton Inn served these visitors, and was the site of many events, including Anna Barber Bevan’s wedding reception. But, the Inn’s success was short-lived, and it was torn down in 1915.

Come hear about the history of the Barberton Inn at this Barberton history program. No registration required.

Designed for the early beginner, a variety of genealogical resources will be discussed during this program, including tips, and techniques for successful searching. If there is time, the group as a whole will practice searching by using one of the resources discussed.  

If you are a genealogist just beginning to research your family, this program will teach you the most frequently used genealogical resources. 

Springtime conjures up wonderful images of flowers blooming and birds singing, and in Barberton, it used to signal the return of the swans to Lake Anna. As most of us know, the swans were not native to Lake Anna, and they were not always a feature of downtown Barberton. The tradition of having swans on Lake Anna began with an unusual set of circumstances.

Come hear the story of the Lake Anna Swans at this Barberton history program. Registration is not required.
