Genealogy…It is getting to be that time of year again when several of us are beginning to leave to head for our summer homes. Seems like this season has gone very fast.
Our last program for the season will be on Thursday the 21st and hope that we can have a good turnout as we will be having 2 guest speakers. Patty Foley is bringing 2 of her friends, Louise Kant and Terri Yates from Robson Ranch. Both Louise and Terri were adopted and only recently found their birth families—both with happy endings. I have been told that the power point program that they put on is very emotional and heartwarming. Be sure and mark it on your calendar to attend and give them a warm welcome. We start at 10:00am so be early to get a good seat. You do not need to bring your computers to this class.
Our meeting on the 28th will again be the class for the beginners. Bring your computers, paper and pencil and we will help you research.
We do plan on having some meetings the first 2 Wednesdays in April for whoever would like to come. They will be at 10:00am in the Gambling Room.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Lynn Olson & Jeanette Keyes
