We will be open all month long on Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 10am to 4 pm.

It takes longer to digitize tapes and movies, so we request an appointment to make sure the equipment is available when you arrive. Please email info@stillygen.org Attention: LeAnne.

Anatomy of A Book, They Are Not All Created Equally  (Monthly Meetings)
1:00 pm
Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society Library, 6111 188th Pl. NE, Arlington, WA
Maureen MacDonald will be speaking at our October 8th meeting. Our business meeting will follow the presentation.
You are invited to the presentation at the society library. Everyone is welcome!
 
Maureen's topic: Anatomy of A Book, They Are Not All Created Equal
 
It all started with stories from my great grandmother.  She was trying to answer my many questions regarding everything. I was especially interested in my great aunts and uncles and on down the generations and, of course, the generations before them.  I just wish I could remember everything she told me. I lived with Gram for four to five years, and near to her adult ‘children’, still asking questions.  When I took a mtDNA test, I learned of my French heritage and one of the King’s Daughters, my many times great grandmother.
 
Genealogy is the ‘book’ I continue to research, another generation, another chapter, and the search continues.
I hope you will learn from my presentation and use it to further your research.
