Lois Smith - One Room School Houses on March Agenda




 


 


Lois Smith of Hood River will be the featured speaker at our  March program on March 9, 2013 at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center. Lois has done extensive historical research on one and two room school houses. Her family resided in Gilliam County, her mother taught school in Olex and Endersby and her Great -Grandmother ran a eatery in Arlington Oregon .

Recap February's Program

We had a small but energetic group who willingly shared questions and answers throughout the afternoon. Everyone had a chance to present a problem or brick wall, and we all had a chance for input. Of course, my attempt at organization and time limits immediately went south, but we had a good time and I think everyone who came, left with some information they didn’t have when they came in. The object was sharing and laughter, and we excelled in both. The consensus is that the Genealogy Jar needs to be dusted off and brought every once in a while.

Chapman Family Association Research



Dear Friends,


The Chapman Family Association, a non-profit group dedicated
to preserving Chapman family history and furthering research in Chapman
genealogy, holds an annual meeting which is held in a different city. We try
to pick places with good genealogical resources and historical interest. Last
year the meeting was in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This year it will be in the
Seattle, Washington area. We have attached two items relating to the meeting
and ask if you would make your members, particularly any Chapmans, aware of the
meeting. The attachments include a flyer regarding the meeting and a
registration form. Thanks for your consideration of our request.




Yours truly,




John S. Chapman
