British Group interested friends,
This coming Saturday-May 22, the British Group meets in the Higgins Room at 1 p.m.
Doris Cruickshank will set up her FindMyPast program, explain it, and do requests on it(see below for features). Also, it is our last meeting of the year and it is time for the "Snacks of Our Ancestors". We still have a future field trip on tap for this summer when temps are warmer. All GFO members are invited who have ancestors from England, Scotland, Wales, and Scot-Irish. (The Irish have their own separate GFO group.)
See you on Saturday, LYLETH WINTHER, lylaw1@verizon.net or 503-658-8018
