Sat., Oct. 15, 2016 – Whatcom Genealogical Society’s Fall Seminar at St. James Presbyterian Church, 910 – 14th Street (lower level), Bellingham, WA. Jill Morelli and Jim Johnson, Professional Genealogists, will be our speakers. For more information on the Seminar and to register: http://wagenweb.org/whatcom/WGS/wgs.htm. Please be prepared to turn off your cell phone as they are quite disruptive to our speakers.
A big incentive to attend the Seminar is that Linda Lawson and Galen Biery have obtained some terrific items for our Raffle Baskets again this year – items such as a year’s membership to Ancestry, Fold3, Genealogy Bank, and Great Courses; a FlipPal Scanner, and other things too numerous to list here. The 5 baskets average $200 worth each. There will also be two door prizes from Legacy Family Tree.
We encourage you to get your registrations in early to assure yourself a spot at this interesting and informative Seminar. See you there……
