Do you have a record of your roots?
The April 12th AAUW general meeting will feature a lesson on genealogy, led by branch member Cathie Oberg and members of the Whatcom Genealogical Society.
We will gather in the downstairs meeting room at the Bellingham Public Library, 210 Central Avenue. Doors open at 10 a.m., but since we have to set up chairs and tables, the meeting will begin at 10:30. We have the room until
12:30, so consider your parking meter situation ahead of time.
The meeting is open to the public – bring a friend!
We will hear about the research tools available for anyone wishing to learn more about their ancestry, including the
library’s microfiche files and local history books on the shelves..
AAUW-WA is a charitable, non-profit organization in Washington State which works to change the climate for women and girls. We accomplish this through education, research, advocacy and philanthropy.
