"Voices Through Time: What I Learned from My Mother's Roller Skate Case"
We are delighted to welcome local librarian and genealogist, Faith Jack.
"After my father passed away in 2013, my siblings and I cleaned out our parents' house. Being the family historian, I wanted to keep almost everything while my siblings wanted to purge. As a child, I can remember my mother taking out her old roller-skate case and showing me letters, photos, and mementos from her childhood. Little did I know that taking the case home with me would be the impetus for progress in my genealogical journey."
NOTE THE DATE CHANGE - our usual meeting room is not available on Wednesday.
