22 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | APRIL 2019 | This group is designed to provide emotional support to any resident mourning the death of a spouse, relationship, child, parent, or beloved pet. We gather together as "hearts with ears" in absolute confidentiality in a safe shared place where strangers may become friends. Each of us is unique; our grief cannot be identical to any other, and the way to get to the other side of your grief is to "go through." We cannot criticize or judge. We meet on Sunday afternoons from 1:30 to 3:30 pm in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. For more information, you may call Barbara Searcy at (951) 663-3382. Bereavement Group The Genealogy Society meets the fourth Wednesday of the month in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. Come and learn how to create your family tree. If you have already started your tree, learn more techniques on how to use the Internet, libraries, the National Archives, and family history centers. Learn about DNA and how it can help find your previously unknown cousins. The speaker for this month is Jean Wilcox Hibben, Ph.D., MA, who is a professional genealogist. She has been involved in family research for over 40 years. A former Board Certified genealogist, she is a member of the National Genealogical Society (NGS). She will speak on "Chicago Rises from the Ashes: The Columbian Exposition Gives Perspective to Family History Research." The World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 put Chicago on the map. Rising from the ashes of the Chicago Fire of 1871, a swampland was turned into an educational and entertainment region for the White City. Inventions surfaced, methods of dealing with potential epidemics were developed, and people came from around the world to learn about cultures they would otherwise never experience. Listeners will find out how this event in Illinois' history affected personal and educational lives. If your ancestor lived anywhere in the vicinity, chances are he or she attended this monumental event. Chicago is more than the site of a horrendous fire; it rose from the ashes to become a world-famous city. Visitors today can find remnants of the Columbian Exposition all over the region and into Wisconsin so listeners will also find out how to connect personally to this exciting part of Illinois history. "The hog butcher of the world" literally became the leader of the world for six months at the end of the 19th century.
