Disney Offers Genealogy Show For Kids

DisZine, a magazine for Disney fans, announced a new Disney Channel series called "My Family Tree."  The televison show will "showcase kids from around the country engagingly reporting on their interesting families and roots."

A film crew was in Marblehead, Massachussetts a few weeks ago filming a segment of  "My Family Tree"  which is slated to begin airing in November.  The show focuses on Noah Gerry and his ancestor Elbridge Gerry, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and later vice president of the United States. 

More information on Noah Gerry, Elbridge Gerry, and Marblehead can be found at Marblehead Patch.

For help with your family history contact your local Springfield Greene County Library.
