Dear List Members, If you are not interested in this message just hit the delete button. However, I have noticed that there are quite a few people on the lists to which I belong who are in East Texas, researching East Texas Families, or who might be traveling this way. Please pass this information along to anyone who micht be interested. I am a reguar member of this list and a member of the Angelina County Genealogical Society. Please help us get out the word about our special speaker for our Monday night August 15, 2005, meeting. The society has delayed the program 1 hour from our regular meeting time to give out-of-town people that have day jobs a little more time to get there. The Angelina Society actively supports the Ora McMullen Room and the John Wilkins Collection for Genealogy Research. Check it and us out if you are traveling our way or have an interest in our area. There are several people who work in the genealogy room who volunteer on a regular basis besides the paid public library staff. They are available to help with a limited amount of research. 1-936-630-0560. Ask for the Ora McMullen Room. They can point you in the right direction for your research.
