ANNUAL PICNIC AND LOCK-IN The Lawrence County Genealogical Society will hold its annual picnic and Hamner Room Lock-in, on Friday August 7, starting at 5:30 PM, at Briggs Lawrence County Public Library, 321 South 4th Steet in Ironton, OH. Access the parking lot from South 5th Street. We’ll provide the food and beverages, to make it easier for our out of town members who want to attend. We’ll have fresh grilled hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixin’s, potato salad, baked beans, chips, and a variety of fresh fruit and veggies. We’ll have a variety of sodas, tea, lemonade, and water. Everyone is invited to bring their favorite desert. We do ask for a donation to cover the cost of the food and table settings. Do your homework and come prepared to use all the resources of the Hamner Room. There are two computers with connections to Ancestry and other online sources, two microfilm reader/printers, a Xerox copier, and lots of books, microfilm and other local info that you won’t find anywhere else. We’ll hold a door prize drawing at midnight, for a copy of the 2003 History of Lawrence County. If you have old pictures of school buildings or classes, businesses, family reunions, etc., bring them and we can scan and copy them for Hamner Room access. This will be a good time to work on a lineage application for First Families, Settlers and Builders, or Civil War Families. The deadline for applications for this year is Sept. 1, either at the meeting or by postmark. We will accept applications at any time during the year, but if we receive them after Sept. 1, we might not be able to finish the examination and approval process in time for the applicant to be recognized at this years reception. Please contact us by Thursday if you plan to attend, .
