Yesterday I posted a note about a genealogy book fair in TN this weekend. One of our members, Frank Gattis, contacted the vendor and obtained a full catalog (contains 40 pages and covers many states) of their offerings. Frank was kind enough to share the catalog with me. If you would like a copy, contact me directly by private email (richard_ellington@unc.edu) and I will send it to you privately. We can't send attachments through the D-OGS email list.

Your questions are welcomed, and if you are even the least bit new at genealogy you will find something useful here. Please try to be punctual if possible, we will try to be all set up and ready for her to start at 9:30 AM in the small downstairs conference room. The presentation will be thirty minutes in length with time for questions afterward. As usual, bring along or send in advance any useful sites or techniques you have come across since we last met.

This D-OGS Meeting will be held on Wednesday evening, 5 May, 2010 at 7 p.m. at the Orange County Public Library on 137 West Margaret Lane in Hillsborough. Here is a map: http://server2.co.orange.nc.us/locations/index.asp?ServiceID=23 The program will be presented by D-OGS member and author Stewart Dunaway. His program will be "Road, Bridge, Ferry, and Mill Records - Another Genealogist treasure". These county records (located at the State Archives) can contain amazing information about families, and their locations. These records are now being cataloged and indexed by Stewart Dunaway, allowing easy access to these valuable county records. His talk will include a brief overview of how infrastructure laws evolved from British Rule to early American expansion. Using old Orange County records to illustrate this evolution, Stewart will also show examples of genealogy oriented information, not just trade route or other historical information. Included in these records are law suits which can include amazingly detailed information as well. ======================================================= The May meeting of the D-OGS Computer SIG will be held on 8 May from 9:00am-noon, in the small conference room in the Chapel Hill Public Library. We want everyone to feel free to attend, and bring their questions, problems, and examples of tips and techniques they have found to share with the group.
