Finding Nemo may be old hat for some, and we can Find Waldo in a lot of places, but can we locate our ancestors?

 

If you’re interested in local history or have thought about digging for the roots of your family tree, a group is organizing to do just these things . . . . to delve into local history and to discover how to research genealogy.

 

Residents of the Prairie Skies Library District are invited to join us on Wednesday, September 17th in the community room of the Pleasant Plains Branch library at 7:00 PM.

 

The plans are for this to be an ongoing group, so bring what you know and share how you learned it.  YOU may be just the expert we’re looking for!  Anyone who has been a part of the Ashland or Plains community for several years would be a valuable resource for the group.

 

Feel free to bring a friend - - this will be a share and learn as you go group, and all are welcome.
