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.
