What are you leaving for future generations?
Remember the August challenge? Now it’s time to show off what you’ve been working on! Create, write, record, or display something from your family history research, then bring it to our November program to share. It might be a family story, a discovery, a photo collection, a family tree, or something entirely your own. Whatever you’ve created, it’s a little piece of the legacy you’re leaving for future generations.
We’re excited to wrap up the year by celebrating YOU and your accomplishments! New to genealogy? Come anyway! You’ll find plenty of ideas, inspiration, and encouragement from fellow members. After all, you’ve worked too hard to let those discoveries disappear into a computer folder or a stack of papers. Let’s have some fun, share what we’ve found, and leave something cool for the generations yet to come!
This is a celebration! Please bring your favorite holiday treat to kick off the Holiday Season!
Co-sponsored by the Clarke-Oconee Genealogical Society and the Athens-Clarke County Library Heritage Room
