Recap from the SGS President

Cousins came from every direction for a three-day SGS Reunion; strangers upon arrival, most of them experienced that vibrating thrill of the first meeting. It was an event to be remembered. The program speakers were inspirational, educational, and informative. Dorothy Lowers’s talk on researching at the Allen County Library resulted in a number of the members taking advantage of its genealogical records. The genealogy class was full; Connie Ayers’s talk on researching in Washington D.C., was enlightening; Betty Allen’s talk on writing your family history was full; and Alan Phipps’s keynote speech on Seeley research and researching in England was most impressive. The discussion on the use of computers in genealogy pointed up some real possibilities.
