General meeting begins at 7pm. We welcome & introduce our guests and first time members. Society and member announcements are next. Then on to the Topic for the evening...........  we generally adjourn between 8-8:30pm.

AND the topic is Online Newspapers:
Newspapers can provide information about births, deaths, marriages, moves, business, naturalizations, court cases, and more. The Family History Library (FHL) Portal at the FamilySearch Centers and Libraries provides free access to several newspaper subscription sites. This class gives an overview of what is available and techniques to help improve your chances of finding information about your relatives.
