THE FAMILY HISTORY CONNECTION

Now that the holidays are over and winter is upon us, do you find yourself looking

for something new and exciting to do? Have you been wondering about your ancestors

and where they came from? Are you wondering how you could go about finding out

about them?

Here is a suggestion for you. Come to a Three Lakes Genealogical Society (TLGS)

meeting and meet some very nice people who would be very happy to help you find the

answers to these questions. The society meets the fourth Monday of the month at 1:00

p.m. in the lower level of the Demmer Library. Meetings generally consist of taking care

of business, a discussion of research successes and “brickwalls,” and a presentation

geared to help family history researchers find out about their ancestors. Dues are $15.00

a year for a family membership. Membership year runs from August to September.

Come join us and get hooked on your family!

‘Twas the night after Christmas, And there in my inbox,

The emails were leaping And jumping about.

The thermometer on the website

Was filling up with red, And visions of goals met

Danced in my head.

And it soon seemed without doubt, Without hesitation, or disbelief,

Our hope of raising $20,000 Was well within reach.

The donors, they were many,

The gifts were not few, And together the sum total – Well, my mind it just blew.

A whole month ahead Of the deadline we set! If somebody had asked,

I would not have taken that bet.

And so we begin This New Year with cheer,

And confidence that Our new building is near.

And because my poetry skills

Are exceptionally bad I will now end this verse by simply saying,

“I am exceedingly glad!”
