Dr Gary Dickey photo

Rev. Dr. Gary Dickey, pastor of the United Methodist church of Westlake Village, is a member of many lineage groups including the Sons of the American Revolution, Sons of Colonial Wars, Sons of the Revolution, and Sons of Union Veterans of Civil War. He has participated in the Massing of the Colors at Forest Lawn Memorial Park at Hollywood Hills for twenty years to honor the birthday of our first president George Washington (often playing the bagpipes for the marching color units). Rev. Dr. Gary Dickey knows the value of Church records when doing genealogical research and will give us suggestions about using church records to help us with our research.

 

Guests are welcome.  Admission is free but donations are appreciated. For Information, call John Lindsay at (818) 349-0878.
