Third Tuesday of the month, 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–whether you have years of experience or are just wanting to begin now. The monthly meetings will happen on the third Tuesday of the month in the library Community Meeting Room from 10:30-12:30. The next meeting is on July 17, 2018. You probably won’t need your computer at this meeting.

At the July 17 meeting we will meet at the library, do our housekeeping, then head over to the Orcas Island Historical Museum for a tour of records, resources, and information that we have here which represents what is available at other historical museums across the country.

Coordinators Vicki Leimback, Rebecca Johnson and Kathi Ciskowski are passionate about research and will bring their organizational and genealogical skills and resources to share.

Rebecca Johnson is a professional genealogist with many areas of expertise. Vicki Leimback has been doing extensive research on her family history and many other topics including the history of houses. 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 eight years.

​All three live on Orcas. Call either Vicki (206-714-3348), Rebecca (360-298-6007) or Kathi (360-376-4186) for more information.
