WGS Meetings If you are ready to reveal to the Society your 'infamous,
notorious or just plain amazing,
weird,
troublesome relatives' and not the ones
you have 'unfriended' from Facebook,
(because they would be living and we don't do
living) please contact Dot LaLone to
schedule your presentation.
WGS
has a great Facebook page. It is being updated regularly with
interesting genealogical related items.

Tuesday June 8, 7pm. First half hour any Germanic
questions. For this session, please prepare for sharing at minimum a short
paragraph about one of your ancestors, with more than birth/death/marriage
dates. The purpose of this exercise is to start thinking of ways to publish
material. By writing up one ancestor, we will start the process of publishing,
and discover if there are gaps we might want to research, or be able to have
the biography ready to go in a genealogical publication.
