Please join us for the 2019 CGS Annual meeting. Before the meeting, we will share a potluck lunch.
All are welcome–just bring a dish to share with your fellow members. We have potluck at 11:30 a.m. The meeting begins at 12:15 p.m. We will review the past year’s activities and discuss plans for 2019, including a report on the Strategic Plan. After business, all are invited to stay and hear stories from two of our members:
1 – Chris Pattillo will share a story about how FamilySearch helped her find a third cousin once removed who lives in the town of Hildesheim, Germany where their shared second great grandparents lived. This new connection led to a treasure trove of information and two more generations of ancestors not previously known to her.

Her presentation will prove the benefits of “talking to strangers” and show how getting a little help from friends can lead to new discoveries. Chris is an entertaining storyteller with useful tips and reminders for family history research.
2- And the Answer is Just a Phone Call Away!
Have you found a family member’s phone number but were afraid to call? Jane Lindsey shares how she got some amazing results by just making ONE phone call.
