See you in January. Have a great holiday season!
12 January 2010 Karen Kitchens, Intellectual Property Librarian at the Wyoming State Library. 
As a United States Patent and Trademark Depository Library, the Wyoming State
Library offers a unique collection of material that can be a significant
source of historical and genealogical information. Genealogists are often
unaware of the useful and interesting genealogical and biographical information
that can be found on historical patents of invention, including citizenship status,
ancestor movement, assignee (often ancestor’s employer),
co-inventors (names of coworkers, family members or friends),
ancestors' signatures, and names of witnesses and executors. 
This presentation will explain basic search strategies and will highlight
resources available for researching historical U.S. patents.

We will meet in the Sunflower Room (3rd Floor) of the Laramie County Library,
beginning at 6:00 p.m. with social time and refreshments, followed by a short
business meeting at 6:30. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m.
