House Research and Orphanage History

Got the June meeting on your calendar? The StLGS monthly meeting for June is this coming Saturday, the 9th, when experienced genealogist, LaDonna Garner, will present "Don't Forget Their House! Researching the Homes of our Ancestors." This meeting, originally scheduled for August but switched due to a conflict, will help you to determine how to go about pursuing the history of your ancestral homes. Often neglected in research, those houses are part of your family history and may help flesh out the stories of the people who lived in them.

The monthly meeting is at St. Louis County Library Headquarters, 1640 South Lindbergh Boulevard, in the auditorium. The meeting is free and open to all; no pre-registration is necessary. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and the meeting starts promptly at 10 a.m. See you there!

(The meeting originally scheduled for June, "Non-Genealogical Websites for Genealogists," by Bob Goode, will now be the August meeting, on Saturday the 11th.)
