Upcoming Meeting: 

Saturday, October 17 – Breaking those Brick Walls: Case Studies presented by Diane Young  Note the date and location changes: To be held at Library in Port Hadlock on the third Saturday. See newsletter.
Who’s Your Daddy? JCGS member Jill Bradberry Keeley is stuck on a classic brick wall: who were the parents of her third great-grandfather, George Bond (1808–1888)? DNA usually points the way on questions like this — but not here. Lulu and Rene dug in and found plenty of matches to George’s wife, Rebecca Ridgely, and their children. The Bond side before George? Silence. So how long does it take to find one needle in a 200-year-old haystack? There’s a twist, too: one young boy in this family seems to belong to two mothers — who happen to be sisters. No King Solomon around to sort it out, so it’s time for some old fashioned genealogical sleuthing. Registration details will be provided in the October newsletter.

See *Calendar of Meetings & Events* for other scheduled events/meetings.
