Hi folks I thought I'd post this one last time... The Genealogical Society of New Jersey Presents Our 83rd Annual Meeting and Fall Lecture When: Saturday, November 6, 2004, 9:30 a.m. Where: B. P. O. E. Lodge, 40 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ This GSNJ program is free of charge and open to the general public. Reservations are suggested in order to ensure adequate seating. Please get your reservation in as soon as possible. (However, we should be able to accommodate last minute walk-ins. So, if your plans change and you suddenly find yourself with a free day - please join us!) Mel Wolfgang is a wonderful lecturer and the sources he's going to discuss will make you want to go hunting for family members in lots of new places! You can see our website for the specifics on Mr Wolfgang's lectures: www.gsnj.org Click on Events, then on the Annual Meeting Registration Form... Lecture 1: "To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors...": A Genealogist's Guide to Identifying and Using the Obscure and Uncommon Records of Local (City, Town and County) Governments. Lecture 2: Tracing Paupers and Orphans, Sturdy Beggars and the Worthy Poor: A Walk on the Dark Side of Genealogical Research. Also - Jonathan Sheppard Books will be there selling books and maps. They have a great supply of recently published books and an interesting selection of used books. (He always has NJ related books that I haven't found elsewhere.) He has a wide variety of maps - both worldwide and very local. I'm planning to do some early Christmas shopping (okay, so it's for me... but who's to know that, right?) And, don't forget that Special Collections at Alexander Library will be open after the lectures until 5pm. Their genealogical collection is wonderful and our own manuscript collections, including Bible records and cemetery records, are there. Email reservations can still be accepted. Why not play genealogical-hooky and make a day of it? The leaf raking can always wait till Sunday! Send registration to: Genealogical Society of New Jersey C. Arthur Lawton mailto:art.lawton@comcast.net Thanks for listening and we hope to see you there.... Best, Joan Joan M.
