The Harrison County Genealogical Society held their regular monthly meeting this morning on the second floor of the Waldomore, Clarksburg, WV. There were 15 of us in attendance and it was good to have Jim Cottrill of Pittsburgh, Pa and Ethel & Arden Swiger of Elkins, WV with us today. Jim Cottrill brought 8 x 10 pictures in protective sleeves and gave them to each one that was there that had attended the Christmas Dinner. He did a fine job and we want to thank Jim for them. Darrell opened the meeting by reading a poem "Research & Rhyme" that John Nuzum had brought for him to read. The Braxton County births book is in and also a Westfall genealogy was given to the Society. There was a lot of discussion on the workshop which is to be held on the 17th of May and if you have not registered yet, please do so asap because time is running out. If you get it in by the 7th of May it will still be $12.50 but walk-ins at the door will be $15.00. The two LDS members teaching the class will be Jane Malone of Fairmont and Charles Preston of Clarksburg. Registration will begin at 8:30 with donuts and coffee. John Nuzum will be at the Waldomore from 9:00A.M. to noon on the 17th of May as David Houchin, the librarian, will be at the Courthouse teaching a class. To all the local people Darrell Waugh, our president of the HCGS, will be on the noon news May 5th of WDTV Channel 5 and on May 12th on the noon news on WBOY Channel 10. He will be speaking on the workshop. The Waldomore has been painted on the outside and it really looks good. Now would be a good time to take some pictures of the Waldomore. Blanche Day had brought a copy of the 1930 census of Tenmile District of Harrison County which her daughter Martha Dennison donated to the Society and we can make copies of it to sell. We want to say thanks to Martha for this district of the 1930 census. John Nuzum says he has all of the Elk District Census of Harrison County from 1850 to 1930 in one book. We will probably be making copies of this also. The trip to Washington, DC which is in the planning stages has been set for October 7, 2003 and the cost will be $25.00 for members and $30.00 for non members. If you think you would be interested in going please let Darrell know. dew38@msn.com It is a fun trip even if you don't find out anything. The date of our annual picnic has been set for August 12th at Lake Floyd. More details will be forthcoming later.
