Meeting Saturday, March 12, 2022 CANCELLED
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!
