The Bainbridge Island Genealogical Society (BIGS) will meet
Friday, March 20 — (date change)
in the Bainbridge Island Public Library Meeting Room from 10:00 AM until noon. The topic will be, “Mapping an Ancestor,” presented by Janet O’Conor Camarata, Association of Professional Genealogists, who will demonstrate using geography and maps in research to provide visual clues to help answer questions about where, how far, and what is nearby, to learn more about our ancestors. Learn about the George E. Curry family of Ohio and Kansas and how maps focused the research, located property, identified lost place names, solved a family mystery, and identified jurisdictions to write for records. Free to members, a $5.00 donation is suggested for nonmembers. For more information go to www.bigenealogy.org, or call 206-842-4978. BIGS is a 501c(3) non-profit organization.
