Christmas Buffet and Social.
Party time!!
Participants are asked to bring a favorite finger food for our annual
pot luck party. We will share genealogy research stories from 2008.
Did your research hit a brick wall? Did you scale that wall and
come up with a link to your family? We want to hear about it--and any
other genealogy experience you wish to share.
