Genealogical Society meeting

On Thursday, September 1, Russell Baker will be the speaker at the Village Genealogical Society. He will present the program “In Search of the Blue and Gray: Looking for Civil War Ancestors.” The American Civil War had a profound historical, economical, and psychological impact on America and Americans, especially those living in the states of the Old South. Brother did fight against brother. Records of this vast conflict constitute a vast treasure trove of often underutilized or misunderstood local history, genealogy, and family history information. This lecture till explore the records of this great war.

The Village Genealogical Society meets the first Thursday of each month (except July and August) at the Coronado Center, Room 6, at 2 p.m. Anyone interested in family research is welcome to attend. Please call Bill Patterson at 922-6965 or Valerie Hartnett at 922-6922 for details.
