North Tonawanda Library Genealogy Club Celebrates 5 years

Little did Jeanette Sheliga know back in 2011 that her idea for a Beginning Genealogy Series at the North Tonawanda Library would celebrating five years as a successful club. When she approached the library about doing an informational series on four consecutive Saturdays, she expected 10-15 people to show up. On May 14, 2011, she had 35-40 people in attendance, and they kept coming back each week. By week three, people were excited to continue beyond the initial month-long commitment. Thus, the North Tonawanda Library Genealogy Club (NTLGC) was born.
