The Genealogy Interest Group is a growing
group of individuals who want to find out about
their heritage and their ancestry. Curiosity
about those who came before and formed us is
important.
The group provides tools to do your research
and help in getting started. For the experience
we can offer suggestions to break through the
brick walls of past generations. Meeting with
others looking in the same geographical areas is
a great help.
We have a few Apple computers and PCs in the
computer room. It is helpful if you want to bring
your own laptop. We will meet for a Help Session
on Fri., Aug. 15. Newcomers are welcome. All
sessions can be seen on the TAG calendar.
We are happy to offer the World Explorer
version of Ancestry.com free of charge in the
computer room. This program would cost an
individual over $100 a month. We also offer the
Family Tree Maker on several of the computers in
the lab. A family tree can be started and compiled
with either or both of these programs with many
hints to assist in your research. The coordinators
are Dorothy Miller, Shirley Rock and Peggy Singh.

Boomer Connection
Boomer Connection Potluck: The Boomer Connection meets for happy hour at 5 pm on the first Friday of every month from April
through October (weather permitting). We are an informal group that gathers on the Palm Court to socialize and listen to music from the
60s, 70s and 80s. In the past, every household brought a dish to share potluck style. If you are comfortable with this, please bring your salad,
entree, casserole, hot dish, dessert, etc. along with a serving utensil for the buffet table. If you do not wish to share with the community,
please bring your own meal. Everything else is "bring your own," i.e. beverages, dishes, utensils, cups, glasses, napkins. Outdoor games are
welcome! For more information and to get on the contact list, email ohccboomers@aol.com. Written by Karla Sandos
