Genetic Affairs - Autoclustering to Identify Matches and Common Ancestors by Diana Nelson

 

Tina Ratcliff will give a behind-the-scenes look at the operations of the Montgomery County Records Center & Archives, located in the historic Reibold Building in downtown Dayton.  She will talk about the historical records of Montgomery County and their future. Tina will also give tips for how genealogists should approach government employees when searching for hard-to-find records. Finally, she will talk about the Ohio Historical Records Adivsory Board, its advocacy on behalf of Ohio's historical records and its new Ohio Citizen Archivist Program.

Our society will gather together to install our officers for 2020 and to celebrate the holidays at our annual party. Everyone is asked to bring a snack, either savory or sweet, to share. Coffee, tea and water will be provided.

 

If you have something genealogical to share, please bring it for our Show & Tell. There will be tables for display purposes. 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.
