The Mary Fellows Penfield Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is holding a free lineage workshop at the Penfield Public Library, 1985 Baird Road, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 5.

The workshop will explore attendees’ ancestry, which could allow them possible membership in the society.
