April Meeting and Program - Case study of Dr. Charles B. Brooks

Our April meeting and program will be on the 14th at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center in the downstairs classroom. Sandy Bisset will present a case study on Dr. Charles B. Brooks. This case study actually began last year when several historical societies and queries led to a collaboration project with the members of the CGGS. Sandy has given out "clues" since the January meeting to the members and we have made a group effort to answer the query questions. 

This has been a fun project and a great program format to expand our researching skills. 

Members are to bring their computers, notes and finished material. This will be a all day program event so bring lunches and beverages also.

White Salmon Library Event " Climb Your Family Tree" Recap

 

Display by Fred Henchel and Diane Barkhimer 

 

 

 The White Salmon Library and the Columbia Gorge Genealogical Society co-sponsored a family

genealogy event on Saturday March 3, 2018. The purpose for the event was to promote family history research and to gather interest in Genealogy to all ages. We certainly accomplished it with both children and seniors wanting to start their genealogy journey. Ruth Shafer, librarian, Diane Barkhimer and Fred Henchel from CGGS put together a great presentation of displays and work areas for the event. A second event is planned on March 31, 2018, Unlock Your Past, a beginning genealogy lecture with representatives from the Fort Vancouver Library and members of the Columbia Gorge Genealogical Society will begin at 2pm. The display will be at the library through the month of March.
