Dear Bruce and friends in the British Isles Interest Group. Please excuse me for not attending the meeting on Sunday. I am not feeling well, having sprained my back not once but twice in the past month. I'm having treatment and I'm doing light exercises. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

British Isles Family History Society- USA will meet Sunday, February 24 from 1:00 - 5:00 pm at the Family Search Library, 1631 East Temple Way, Los Angeles, CA. The library will be open for research. Meeting at 1:00 pm: Continuing the journey... Last month, according to our bylaws, we voted to join the Southern California Genealogical Society as an Interest Group. The vote was unanimous of those attending the meeting. We will continue to work on membership and treasury to transfer over to SCGS. We must meet 4 times a year at the SCGS library in Burbank, CA and our topic will be deciding our new meeting schedule (which can remain the 4th Sunday). Please share your ideas.
Ann, Thank you. Any suggestions/ideas you'd like to pass along would be greatly appreciated.

Sunday, August 26, 2018 from 1:00- 5:00 pm at the Los Angeles FamilySearch Library, 10741 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90024. Program: Successful First Time Visit to the FHL in Salt Lake City A visit to "the" Family History Library in Salt Lake City is something every genealogist dreams of. It is alluring, promising untold riches of information, it it also may be quicksand, pulling you into a vortex of interesting but ultimately useless time-wasting distractions. A rewarding trip needs to be well planned to achieve specific and achievable goals. Learn how to plan for the most productive trip possible. Presenter Barbara Randall is president of BIFHS-USA, a lecturer and writer. After the presentation you are welcome to research in the library until 5 pm.
We have had a page on facebook but we also now have a group on facebook. This means that we can carry on conversations that will go to our news feeds. This is a closed group for anything British Isles related- no politics, no spam (hopefully but we can get rid of it). To join the group go to www.facebook.com, sign in and search for British Isles Family History Society- USA. Then click Join. Once you click join we will approve it and you are in and can start a conversation/question or post a response. Please share this with others who might be interested. You do not have to be a member of the society join us on facebook. Barb
