October is Genealogy Month – We’re Celebrating Our Discoveries

 

October 4, 2022    9:30 am
Gail Borden Public Library District: Main Library, 270 N Grove Ave, Elgin, IL 60120, USA

 

EGS is celebrating Genealogy month by having an open forum for our members.

Tell us about a new discovery or a short story about your ancestor. Who were they? Where did they come from and settle? Any accomplishments you have uncovered. Feel free to share a photo, memento, or family heirlooms.

 

Also, we are looking to reactivate the Writer’s Group. If you are interested, please contact Carol Blohm. Interested in becoming a Genealogy Volunteer at the library? You can pick your day or days and time…once a month…once a week…whatever works for you. The library will train you. Contact Kristie Benedik for more information.

Don’t forget to send in your dues for 2023!
