The Society does not meet in July or August. AN IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless otherwise stated, all future monthly meetings will be held on the second Saturday of the month at 11:00 a.m. in the Community Room at the rear of the Park Branch of the Clark County Public Library located in the Park Shopping Center, 1119 North Bechtle Avenue, Springfield, OH. The September 12th 11:00 a.m. meeting at the Park Branch of the Clark County Public Library will offer Rev. John Fitzgerald discussing his research on Quaker migration and his book on the same “A Peaceable Pilgrimage.” Rev. Fitzgerald is a minister for Leesburg Quaker Church. The October 10th 11:00 a.m. meeting will be held in the Gaier Room at the main branch of the Clark County Public Library, 201 South Fountain Avenue. Our member Linda Moeller, who teaches Genealogy Software classes using the library’s computers, has been given permission to schedule her computer class during our October meeting date and time. Her class is titled: “Introduction to Genealogy Software” where she will be teaching how to create & organize your family history records using the free Personal Ancestral File software from FamilySearch.org. Because of the limited number of computers, please call the library at (937) 328-6903 to register. The November 14th 11:00 a.m. meeting will return to the Park Branch of the Clark County Public Library located in the Park Shopping Center, 1119 North Bechtle Avenue. Our speaker will be Gene Park, Piqua Shawnee Elder, speaking on THE NATIVE AMERICAN. Gene Park is a descendant of Joseph Parks, who in the 1830’s took the Shawnee on their deportation to the West from Hog Creek Reservation in Lima. He is also a direct descendant of The Great Shawnee War Chief BLUEJACKET. BlueJacket was not a white man, but a Shawnee, a PIQUA and was in Rabbit Clan of the Piqua division of the Shawnee. Gene is Co-author of a DNA study which proves all this and will be out soon. The Society does not meet in December.

| Share your research | This is a new page on our site where members can have their family information and photos posted to share with other researchers. We can accept photos, narratives and reports, but not Gedcom files, at least not at present. If you don't have a web site for your family research, you can still have some of your information online-right here. | ||
