Pat: MCGS is planning some interesting programs for 1999. Two will be for beginning genealogists, one of which is limited to young teens, the other for adults. Shirley Bull, MCGS member and librarian at Mormon Library, will give a program on German Research. This will probably be at our regular May meeting. Ann Carter Fleming, MCGS member and professional genealogist, will present an all-day program on a Saturday in October. I've asked her to give us suggestions about solving seemingly unsolvable genie projects and to address the program to intermediate genealogists. We are also planning a trip to the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, IN in April. As you probably know, Allen Co. houses the wonderful and indispensible PERSI holdings. I will send you a copy of the 1st Quarterly for 1999 when I receive your address. This has more details on all of the above, plus other MCGS projects. Welcome to MCGS and I hope to meet you soon. If you have any questions, please let me know. Janet
