    Inside Clayton - Presented by Clayton Library Friends

    Inside Clayton is a Clayton Library centric program to introduce both members and non-members to the Family History Research Center (FHRC) at the Clayton Library Campus, its collections, books and resources for genealogical research. This hybrid meeting is open to the public. It will begin with a presentation for both Zoom and library attendees. Followed by a hands-on practice for in-person attendees.

    Topic: Interlibrary Loans (ILL) and Genealogy

    What happens when a researcher is interested in a book that we don’t have at our library? Thankfully, a free and underutilized service is available with your Houston Public Library card: Interlibrary Loan.

    Join new FHRC Manager Carl Smith for a brief overview of how Interlibrary Loans work and how you can leverage this free service to gain access to even more genealogical and historical books and records for free thru the library.

    In-person attendance registration is not required for this meeting. Simply arrive by the scheduled time. 

    Online registration is required to receive the Zoom link for the instructional portion of this event (approx. 20-30 minutes).

    Clayton Library Friends May General Meeting

    This general meeting will be a hybrid meeting – held both online via Zoom and in-person at Clayton’s Garwood Meeting Room – and requires registration. Registration is required for in-person attendance due to limited seating capacity. Registration for online attendance is also required to obtain Zoom login instructions. See below for registration options.

    The meeting will consist of a brief business meeting followed by our guest speaker.

    Program Title: All God’s Children: The Enslaved and Their Owners, Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church (1801-1829), Jessamine County, Kentucky

    Janet Miller always believed that her ancestors came from small, rural Protestant congregations that did not keep records. Recently, though, while searching for information on Lafon family members, she decided to look at the transcribed minutes of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church online at FamilySearch. It was nice to find a Lafon mentioned—Anna, her likely fourth great grandmother who had joined the congregation in the summer of 1811. But then, on the same page were other familiar names: Singleton, Waller, Haydon, Barkley. And then she noticed that slaves were mentioned, first names only—Harry, Cato, Charity, Dolley—who were either joining the Church or being baptized. What started on a whim with the expectation of finding nothing of consequence, soon became a full-fledged hunt for family ties to the history of Mt. Pleasant Church and the Church’s ties to early American history, by way of the “Travelling Church” and the “Siege of Bryan’s Station.”

    Janet’s personal journey into genealogical research began in the fall of 1992 when history professor Dr. Riley Froh challenged Janet and her much younger classmates to record their family stories. Writing the class paper, “Why Me Lord, Why Texas?” resulted in Janet’s first introduction to the magic of the Clayton Library in Houston and to the classical research tools of the day: the Soundex system, manual microfilm machines, books, books and more books, many arranged by state, county, author. Starting at the Clayton with “Why Me Lord...” and returning here some thirty years later with “All God’s Children...” became like a pair of bookends between which Janet claims to have learned so much. And yet, as she continues to be surprised and delighted to find ancestors in unexpected places, she realizes that there is so much more to learn.

    Registration is required for either Zoom or in-person attendance. You do not need to be a member to attend the meeting.
