WVGS January General Meeting:
Saturday, January 11th, 2024
Salem Public Library
Library Collaboration Room (Lower Level)
585 Liberty St. SE
Salem, Oregon
10:30 am – 11:30 am The General Membership Meeting.
A business meeting will be held to conduct society business.
11:30 pm – 1:00 pm
Program: Member sharing
Speaker: Members of the WVGS
Members can bring photos, family heirlooms, or documents and share their stories. It will be a show-and-tell session, when heirlooms and artifacts tell your family story. It’s also a chance to get help with that mysterious item you found in grandma’s attic but aren’t quite sure about. Chances are, someone in the room will be able to shed some light. Five to ten minute talk on the item you bring.
Family history isn’t just about records and vital statistics—it’s also about the stories, memories and traditions you want to pass on to future generations. And the stories of how we discovered our ancestors. Do you have story about your family to share? Or would you like to present a genealogical roadblock that you’d like to ask if anyone has a suggestion on how to solve? It's a great opportunity to hear which research methods others are using.
Our programs are always open to the public.
