The East Texas Genealogical Society will hold its regular monthly meeting on Saturday, August 9, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. at the Tyler Public Library in the Taylor Auditorium. The featured speaker will be Marynell Bryant. Ms. Bryant, a professional researcher and lecturer, is currently serving her third term as President of the Texas State Genealogical Society. She will present a program titled “War of 1812 Records and Resources.” About one out of every fourteen men in the US was involved in the war between June of 1812 and February of 1815. Most Americans today have at least one ancestor that served, and many of the service records, bounty land warrants for service, and pension files are available. Ms. Bryant will discuss the records and how to obtain copies. Approximately thirty minutes following the conclusion of the regular program and refreshments, the Computer Interest Group of the East Texas Genealogical Society will meet with Frances Growchowski who will present a program on “Organization and Files That Work for Me.” ETGS meetings are free and open to the public. For more information about ETGS go to our web-site: www.etgs.org or contact June Everheart, Publicity Director at Everheart@1stvp@etgs.org or (903)877-4501.

Native American Research Topic for ETGS Meeting Carolyn Earle Billingsley, Ph. D., noted research consultant and lecturer, will be the featured speaker at the East Texas Genealogical Society’s meeting on Saturday, July 12, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. in the Taylor Auditorium at the Tyler Public Library. Ms. Billingsley has almost thirty years experience in both genealogical and historical research, editing, writing, teaching, and lecturing and has a B.A. from the University of Arkansas and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Rice University in Houston. The title of her lecture will be “The Reality of Researching Your Indian Ancestors”. Past ETGS programs about Indian Research have included how to trace Five Civilized Tribe ancestry through the normal avenues, and many researchers have been disappointed not to find their ancestors there. Ms. Billingsley will introduce the reality of researching Indian ancestors not found on the official records and certain markers that the educated researcher can use to build a case for Indian ancestry. (http://www.cebillingsley.net/) To allow time for questions and answers from the audience, the Computer Interest Group will not meet in July. Refreshments will be served following the meeting. ETGS meetings are free and open to the public. For more information about ETGS go to our web-site: www.etgs.org or contact June Everheart, Publicity Director at 1stvp@etgs.org or (903)877-4501.
