Our 3rd annual Genealogy Lock-in will be held at the W. Dale Clark Library in Omaha on Sep 30th. This year they are letting in 125 people, and there will be computers available on two floors with internet access and the OPL subscription data bases (Ancestry plus, etc.) There are many area historic newspapers on microfilm, many census reels, naturalization index for NE & some 52 counties in Iowa, cemetery records, some Rev. War Pension & Bounty Land reels (about 50), Germans to America, German Immigrants in US Protestant Church Records for IA (3 vol.), NE, IN, WI (4 vol) by Roger Minert as well as other immigration volumes, newsletters from about 125 genealogy societies around the country, over 8,000 books from a wide variety of states & counties, and other goodies. There are city directories, a historic clipping file, hundreds of files from the Missouri Valley Masons who died prior to 2000 (with an index book), and a lot of other goodies. Refreshments will be served. There will be a tour of the genealogy materials, and a slide show of historic markers from Prospect Hill cemetery (cycles continuously).

If you do not live in Omaha, or one of the reciprocal library districts, you can purchase a guest pass to the computers for $2. Make a day of it, go out to supper at a nearby restaurant & be back by 6:30. (The library will close at 6:00 and reopen for participants at 6:30.) People will have to be on-time. Pick up your participant name tag before you take the elevator upstairs. The doors will only be open for approximately 15 minutes, before they will be closed and locked. Participants can leave at any time, but will not be able to get back in. Any questions, email me or call the library. The previous ones have been fun. Hope to see a lot of you there. Tell other genealogy friends. And register soon, as they already have 25 people registered. (If you find out you can't come, let them know that, so someone else can come in. Karen
