Do you wonder about the history of your Carmel home? Who built it and when, who used to live there, what stories it holds? Are you interested in tracing your family’s history in Carmel, finding out where your aunt lived or where your great-grand parents honeymooned?

Then come join Local History Librarian Katie O’Connell and family historian and librarian Kathy Nielsen for a talk on finding your house’s history. You’ll learn how to navigate historic newspapers, city directories and property files; what City and County resources are available; the particularities of historic research in Carmel-by-the-Sea; and how tracing a house’s history can fill in gaps in your own family history.
