On Saturday, April 12th, the Montgomery County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society will hold its monthly meeting at 1:30 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Dayton Metro Library, 215 E. Third Street, Dayton. The topic of our meeting will be One Man's Hunt for Civil War Grave Sites presented by Harold George. This program discusses Harold George's 8-year project to identify and locate the original burial sites of those men who served with the 9th Ohio during the Civil War. Mr. George discusses Civil War era experiences, accomplishments, and losses of the 9th Ohio between the years 1861 and 1865, in addition to the techniques used to locate a civil war veteran's grave. Mr. George ties into this discussion the genealogical data discovered as a result of the project. Each person in the audience will receive a handout, "How to Locate a Civil War Veteran's Grave Site". The program is performed in conjunction with Mr. George's book, "Men of the 9th Ohio". Harold George, an author and lecturer, has been a Civil War re-enactor with the 9th Ohio Light Artillery since 1992. He currently serves as commanding officer of the battery, with the rank of 1st Lieutenant. Mr. George retired from the Department of Defense in 1994, after 29 years of service. When not writing or performing for the public, Mr. George enjoys photography, travel, fishing and reading. The half-hour "early bird session" at 1:00 will feature Pam Wolosz discussing Free (or Almost) Genealogy Learning - Internet and non-Internet suggestions for learning genealogy. Pam is currently Recording Secretary for the genealogy society and quite an expert on genealogical research. For those who are able to attend, this will be an exciting meeting and we look forward to seeing you.
