Tuesday, June 19, 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., Orcas Library
— from Kathi Ciskowski —
The Orcas Island Genealogy Club is free and open to anyone who is interested in exploring family genealogy and history-whether you have years of experience or are just getting started.
The meetings take place on the third Tuesday of the month in the library Community Meeting Room from 10:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m. The next meeting is on June, 19, 2018.
The format for this meeting will be a little unusual. After gathering at the library we will hear a short presentation on WikiTree, sign in and catch up and then ride out to the Crow Valley School for the rest of the meeting. Topics there will focus on how to research school archives, institutions and patents…we call it “Doing Your Homework.” Rebecca Johnson, museum docent, will share some of the history of the Crow Valley School. Be sure to have a coat or sweater because the building may be cool this time of year.
Coordinators, Vicki Leimback, Rebecca Johnson and Kathi Ciskowski are passionate about research and will bring their organizational and genealogical skills and resources. Other group members are encouraged to share their knowledge.
Kathi Ciskowski has a Certificate from the University of Washington Genealogy and Family History course and has taught and helped people with genealogy projects for 8 years. Rebecca Johnson is a professional genealogist with many areas of expertise. Vicki Leimback has been doing extensive research on her family history and and a variety of other topics including the history of houses. All three live on Orcas.
Call either Vicki (206-714-3348), Rebecca (360-298-6007) or Kathi (360-376-4186) for more information.
