January 7	Genealogy 101
January 19	Our very own Neal Bertrand, cookbook author and genealogist extrodinaire will be our speaker.  He will speak on My Notable Ancestors showing old photos of his ancestors and sharing what he found out while doing his research. I'm sure every member will be able to glean something from his talk;  les us have a good turnout for him and get enthused about our genealogy searching for 2012. By the way, have YOU decided what your genealogy project for 2012 will be for the year? And think about what you may be contributing for our 2012 Les Memoirsa picture, a chart, a story, a brick wall cracked, a grave found, a tombstone picture, discovered family relatives. All articles are welsome! The 2011 Les Memoirs CD was great, except for a few glitches; we can make it greater and bigger with your contributions.  Lets go for it! Another reminder is that dues for 2012 are due before the February meeting.  After that members are delinquent.  Dues for the year are $20.00.  Our treasurer will be available at the meeting and will be happy to recieve your 2012 dues.  Besides the educational meetings with refreshments, the society is happy to assist you with your genealogical search offering pointers and suggestions. The society is thankful for you continued support and looks forward to seeing you at all of its meetings. Don't forget this Thursday evening at the South Regional Library at 6:00 P.M. for Neal Bertrand and the Lafayette Genealogical Society. Brenda Fuselier, President Lafayette Genealogical Society
February 4	Genealogy 101 Have you heard of the Attakapas Gazette?  What was it? It was a quarterly publication but what it did contain of genealogical interest? Your president thought that it is such a rich source of historical and genealogical information that members should be aware of articles included in its publication.  I'll give a brief history of it, an overview of some indeses, and some genealogical tidbits it may hold. Are you having any problems with your research?  Do you have a brick wall? Bring names, dates, charts to share with members and possibly help will be recieved.  We can put our heads together to suggest sources and help.
