WELCOME!!

Welcome to the Genealogy Blog for the Poplar Bluff Public Library!! 

We hope to keep our genealogy friends updated on events of interest connected to the library.  It might be a program announcement, a new title added to the Genealogy Dept., or maybe something just to make you think.   

Questions and comments are always welcome.  This will evolve in time, so stick around and see what kind of (family) tree may grow!
