All are welcome - no attendance fee is charged
Membership is not a requirement for meeting attendance
The research library will be open prior to each meeting for the benefit of those who
wish to come and browse through the books, periodicals and other material the
Society has accumulated for genealogical and historical research. There is no
fee for the use of the library, although donations are appreciated. The library
will be open at 1:15 p.m. until the start of the meeting at 2:30 p.m. If there is
interest, the library will re-open following the meeting and speaker's presentation
and will stay open during the social hour.
In addition to the library, there are two opportunities for those in attendance
to get help with their research. The social hour gives attendees an opportunity
to network with others on problems they are encountering in their search for
their ancestors and a part of the structured program is devoted to questions
about genealogical research on which they feel they have reached a brick
wall. One member reports that information she received at the meeting
enabled her to complete her application for membership in the DAR.
The pamphlet, "Genealogy for Beginners", will be available free
to those in attendance.
* When Easter or Mother's Day falls on the 2nd Sunday, we will meet
on the 3rd Sunday.
