| October 25, 2012 meeting. Mike Hill presents interesting & well-planned presentation about “family genealogy.” His purpose was to motivate and get members interested in discussing their ancestors and family surnames at the different society meetings as part of the society’s regular programming. He is looking to do something, structurally, that will enhance today’s technology-based family research. He distributed the Bonnett/Meadows Pedigree Chart (his wife’s ancestors) which generated discussion about others who are researching or have ancestors of the same families. |
