State Highway 289 #4, from 10:30-12:30.  There will be a materials charge of $10.00 for each participant. 

Please call to register so we will know how many materials are needed.  If you are new to family research this is your opportunity to learn the first steps in getting started using both Internet sources and printed resources.  If you are an experienced researcher, Mr. Rideout will have helpful tips for you.
