Hi Shirley, I'm so sorry I wasn't here for the picnic. Hope it was fun. Just got back late last night from the National Genealogy Society annual convention in Raleigh, NC, and am totally brain-dead after a week of (incredibly helpful and interesting) seminars that required intense concentration all week -- except for one evening! What a brain workout! But good tips on brick-wall-climbing and rooting-out-reclusive-ancestors. See you at FHL, Betsy --- On Mon, 5/11/09, Shirley Genetin <genetin@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > From: Shirley Genetin <genetin@sbcglobal.net> > Subject: Re: [MarinGenSoc] Picnic May 16th 1:00 > To: "MCGS" <maringensoc@rootsweb.com> > Date: Monday, May 11, 2009, 11:07 AM > Dear Members, Just a reminder about > our Picnic May 16th at 1:00 pm.
