Since there will not be a meeting on June 8, here are some suggestions for continuing your research:

FindMyPast is offering free access to its records from 6 June to 10 June.  Here is the link:  https://genealogybargains.com/fmp-us-evergreen
Legacy Family Tree is a subscription website but once the webinars are completed in person, they are available for a certain number of days free.  Check out some of these.  Always good information.

We are looking for speakers to do in person presentations.  If you would like to do a presentation or know of someone who does presentations, please let me know.

Meeting Saturday, March 12, 2022 CANCELLED

Posted on by
Due to the weather forecast for tomorrow, the in person/zoom session for Saturday, March 12, 2022 has been cancelled. We are sorry to do this but the forecasters seem to think that the worse weather will be in the morning hours.  As one forecaster said, the old groundhog did predict six more weeks of bad weather.  Hopefully spring is around the corner!
Check out the National Archives site for information about the 1950 census – due to be released April 1, 2022 – only 20 days away!
