find their ancestors and connect with the past.
Provide enlightening speakers at the monthly meetings
on relative topics to aid, assist and better our
research.

Society Dues are used to purchase books relevant to the
research our members are involved with and to provide
speakers that benefit our research.
Society Members are special people. The monthly meetings
are gatherings of good times shared as well as sharing
of
useful research tools or ideas.
We are lucky to share similar ideals and goals with five

collections,
ideas and most important connections.
