Please join the Montgomery County Chapter OGS for our annual picnic on June 11 from noon to 4.  This will be our first in-person event since everything shut down for COVID in Spring of 2020, and it will be a wonderful opportunity to connect with old and new friends and to engage in genealogy conversation.

Please bring a side dish, salad, dessert and/or beverage such as a gallon of iced tea or lemonade, or bottled water with ice to share. Broasted chicken from Dot¹s will be served at 12:30 p.m.  Soy oil is used in preparing the chicken. If you have any dietary concerns or are not comfortable sharing food due to the pandemic, you are welcome to bring an individual lunch for yourself instead.

Please R.S.V.P by June 4.  You can sign up for the picnic by leaving a message for Audrey Schilb at 937-433-4505. Please indicate your name, phone number, the number attending and the type of food or beverage you are bringing.

Are you taking great genealogy notes every time you research?  If not, you're missing out on genealogy clues.  Our speaker, Jennifer Patterson Dondero, will discuss why you need genealogy clues, how they are the secret to on-going genealogy success, and what to put in your genealogy notes so you capture clues, even if you don't recognize them (yet!).
