A FUNNY THING HAPPENED WHILE WRITING A FAMILY HISTORY
Speaker: Member, Carolyn Storm
Interesting facts came to light while digging into my grandparent's history. My great grandfather may not have been my great grandfather after all! Oops!
Plus I will share a simple way to put your ancestor's story into a short biography.
AND, WE ARE HAVING A SILENT AUCTION
Members are urged to donate their unwanted genealogical/history books, etc. they no longer need or want. Bids will begin at 25 cents and increase in 25 cent increments. We will only have quarters and ones for change....Be Prepared.
