As a reminder, our next regular meeting will be this coming Saturday, July 16, 2005 at the Edmondson Pike Public Library, 5501 Edmondson Pike, Nashville, Tennessee at 1 p.m. The speaker will be Linda Barnickel. Her topic is "Putting Your Ancestors in Context". Learn how to construct the time and place in which your ancestor lived and worked. General historical, topical and locality-specific resources will be identified and their value for the genealogist described. Ms. Barnickel is a librarian and archivist working in the Nashville Room at the Metro-Nashville Main Library and serves as coordinator of the Veterans History Project. We would like to let everyone know that we have available copies of the program syllabus from the National Genealogical Society Conference in the States.
