Heritage Festival & Genealogy Search Invitation The Seattle Genealogical Society and its Computer Interest Group invite you to come to the Heritage Festival and we hope that you will visit our "Genealogy Search" booth. It is located in the Parlor, Library, and Great Room of the Clise Mansion and Museum. The Heritage Festival is from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 7th, and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, July 8th, at Marymoor Park, near Redmond, Washington. The Park is located at the north end of Lake Sammamish, and at the intersection of Route 520 and the West Lake Sammamish Parkway NE. Entrance to the Festival is free and there is a $6 parking fee. The King County Parks Department invited SGS members to assist Heritage Festival visitors seek information about their ancestors. Prior to sitting down at a computer, SGS volunteers will assist each visitor as they enter their genealogical information on a pedigree chart or family group sheet. If you already have this information, feel free to bring it with you. This information is used by a Computer Interest Group volunteer to help the visitor search genealogy web sites for information about one of their ancestors. As an alternative to an Internet search, volunteers guide visitors in a search of genealogy CDs for their ancestor's information. We will also have an SGS genealogy information and book sales table. There will be information available about the Black Genealogy Research Group, the Eastside Genealogical Society, and the Daughters of the American Revolution. As a special attraction, Julia Jefferson, descendant of past President Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, his slave, will make a short presentation and answer questions in the Great Room of the Clise Mansion at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. each day. In addition to our Genealogy Search booth, the Festival will have many exciting activities, music and crafts. There will be a US Civil War reenactment, a baseball game with 1860s rules, and the Interlake Mountain Men and Oregon Trail Travelers will show how pioneers worked, cooked, camped and entertained themselves during the 1800s. Plus, Northwest Coast Indian Tribes will show their crafts, music and dancing. Further, there will be a variety of popular crafts, some being made at the Festival. The music focus this year is on jazz, blues and swing with an array of national and regional headliners. The dance stage will offer over 30 groups presenting dances from around the world.
