Do you have the SuperPower to read cursive? I am constantly amazed that younger folks don't have this ability. They either were never taught in school, or taught in limited lessons and didn't bother to continue. Nowadays they use apps on their phone to suss out the meanings of the words.

Oct. 10th, 2 p.m., Ag Center conference room, 885 Lakeport Blvd.

Topic: VITAL RECORDS and Paleography — reading what's actually on the page

Bring in the research you've done so far on your ancestor of choice.

Is there a vital record you can't find, or an original document you're struggling to transcribe? Let's work on it together!

FOLLOWING THIS CLASS will be our Quarterly Board Meeting, please attend!

We will be reviewing the Kelseyville Pear Festival and discussing our upcoming Cemetery Tour.

The Lake County Genealogical Society is funded primarily by membership dues and donations.

Thank you for continuing our good work in our 49th year.

We are saddened to learn of Lars Ewing's sudden departure from the County of Lake. He was instrumental in finding us the small office space that the Lake County Genealogical Society currently has in the Agriculture Center in Lakeport that holds a portion of our genealogy library collection. Lars was always supportive of our efforts and will be greatly missed.

Bring your mystery. I'll share how I solved my latest...

A portrait of a young woman with no name. A painting signed "N. Smith 1911" (yes, Smith!) and a hunch. Her family tree turned that into an answer, and her grandmother's pictures are heading home.

Saturday, Sept. 12th 2 p.m. at the Ag Center, Lakeport
TOPIC: Genealogical Foundations & Organizing Your Research
Bring one ancestor that you are working on. Bring a source you're unsure how to cite, or a mystery fact.

Hope to see you there to hear the rest of the story!
