I cast my vote for the slate of officers for the TIGS organization. I am so grateful to you all for igniting the genealogy passion in me a few years ago. My grandfather, Mike Sweeney, would be so happy to know that his family lives on in our hearts through the information I have found about their lives in Troy from 1852, when they arrived from Ireland, to 1905 when they moved to Rochester. I love it. Thanks Amy LaPietra

I think it shows our strength and growth since 9/18/03 when about a dozen folks met and shared their common interest in genealogy and TIGS was born.? A special thanks to retiring officer; Gerri Sherri, who during her short term as President gave her all to keep TIGS running smoothly.? We wish her the best of luck with all her future endeavors and look forward to her attending meetings again.? We look forward to another productive year with the support of all the List Members and all of the great volunteers on the list. Thanks To All of You Kristin Cooney-Ayotte Founding Member
