We are taking over Ellis Library once again (with Lou's approval)!

Join us at Ellis Library on the second floor for an evening of research and camaraderie with other genealogists. Be inside the library before 5:00 when the library closes for patrons and have your research notes prepared for an evening of research. Ellis is an LDS affiliate library and has access to several on line databases, like Ancestry Library Edition and FamilySearch. They also have microfilmed church records, newspapers and an extensive genealogy collection.

Please let Rana know if you plan to attend so we can make sure we have enough pizza and feel free to bring a snack to share with the group.

It's a great chance to meet new members and learn about new resources to advance your genealogical research.
