NEWSPAPERS ONLINE - Speaker Janice Sellers
There are millions of pages of newspapers accessable on the internet, but no one particular place to find them all.
Janice is a professional genealogist and has been on the staff of the Oakland FHC for 11 years. She will give us an overview of what is available and how to find it, and teach us some techniques to finding our ancestors in newspapers online. Useful information! We look forward to this meeting!

THE TRUTH IN FAMILY MYTHS AND LEGENDS
Speaker: Chris Green
There is always a shred of truth in most family lore. However, separating truth from myth is not always easy. Chris will explore her experiences in separating truth from myth in several stories, from the ordinary to the improbable. This should be a very interesting and informative meeting.
