The latest SMFSD news:
SMFSD members from across the U.S.
gather in ancestral hometown October 8-10, 2015
The SMFSD Triennial Meeting October 8-10, 2015 drew Middletown, Conn. "cousins" from across the U.S. to enjoy research, networking, and social gatherings in and around the ancestral hometown. For three days --- Thursday through Saturday --- more than 30 members, spouses, and friends hailing from all corners of the continent fanned out from the headquarters hotel to explore the riches of genealogy research repositories in both Middletown and Hartford, Conn. Every three years SMFSD organizes its Triennial Meeting, converging in Middletown for not only on-site research, but also for cemetery explorations, museum excursions, educational sessions, and a banquet with a featured guest speaker. Plan now to join us for the next Triennial Meeting in October 2018.
