The Genealogy Club will be meeting on Tuesday, July 11, at 1 pm in the Annex. The topic will be "Using Genealogical Forms," which will be presented by our vice president, Mary Ann Mericle. This will be in preparation for our meeting in September which will focus on problem resolution. Mary Ann will be discussing pedigree charts, family group sheets, and building time lines. These are important forms that help when researching your family history and trying to break those "brick walls." Visitors are always welcome. Our meeting will start promptly at 1 pm, so please sign in at 12:45 pm. If you have any questions, please call Lennie Martin, president, at (503) 269-9987.
