Volusia – Flagler County Genealogical Societies Newsletter JULY 2009 Issue 5.07
 

Have a great Independence Day! 

Coming in September:   Free! Beginning Genealogy Classes

Three classes - Tuesdays, September 15, 22, 29 - 2009
City Island Library Board Room
9:30 – 11:00am

Join Carol and Ruth as they show you how to trace your family line back through the generations. As the mystery unfolds you will be shown how to use primary and secondary sources to prove your lineage. Perhaps you will find an ancestor that fought in the Revolutionary War or went off to the “far west” just over the mountain.  We can guarantee a good time in the pursuit.
