Not sure what to bring, here are some suggestions: A family history project you have been working on, a family heirloom, a book you have written, a book or something you have found helpful in your research, etc. This will be a time to share our ideas, share our love of family history and share the holiday spirit.
We will again this year, collect items for the veterans (male female) at the VA Medical Center. Because we need to provide the VA with a total value of the gift, please attach the receipt or make sure there is a readable price tag. All items must be new.
