Open Discussion About Genealogy Summer Research
We have had a two-month vacation from our monthly meetings after a tour in June of the Stockholm Historical Society building. It was very informative, and I need to go back again because there was so much to observe in such a short time. This past spring, I took Dennis to a softball ball game […]
Tour of Stockholm Historical Society Museum
Now that summer has arrived, it is time to get out and visit those cemeteries and reunite with ancestors from the past. It is also a great time to do some traveling to do other research via town, church, and historical records from the past even though the price of gasoline is going out of […]
Probate Records
Happy Spring. I hope everyone is able to get out and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. It is time for all genealogists to descend on their local cemeteries. In other words, action is now required because it is a short season for us Northerners to glean information from long-lost descendants’ gravestones. The bugs are coming, […]
Old Photos, Share and Tell
It is getting warmer. The dirty snow is slowly disappearing. It is almost time for all genealogists to descend on their local cemeteries. In other words, action is now required because it is a short season for us Northerners to glean information from long-lost descendants’ gravestones. But first of all, our meeting this month is […]
Zoom Program “Quakers” by B. J. Jamieson
Spike’s Computer is in the shop being repaired, so he asked to post this month’s President’s Message. Spring is coming and it’s time to start thinking about doing research and genealogy outside the house. Reminder: B.J. Jamieson is giving a zoom presentation on Quakers, this Month’s Topic, on March 28, 2022. Hope you are able […]
Show and Tell About Old Photos You Have
Spring on the calendar is just a few days away but in reality; we still have a couple of months before the warm weather will be here to stay. Our next meeting will be a “show and tell” about old photos you have that you can bring to our February meeting. In the Star Herald […]
Helping ACGS Member To Use Caribou Library Sources
I hope Santa Claus brought everyone what they wished for as well as good health over the holidays. Now we began a new year. I would like to receive ideas at the January meeting as to what the membership would like for programs for the year 2022. For January, Dennis suggested that members bring in […]
Planning Future Agendas & Helping Others
Well the white rain has begun for the season and will probably continue for several months. In other words, this is not the season to cruise the cemeteries so we must create other means (inside) to do our research. Since this is November, it is time for our annual election of officers. Dennis informs me […]
Caribou Archives Room
You may ask where we hold our monthly meetings. At the Caribou Public Library, in the basement in the Archives room. What is in the Archives room? That is what we will find out at our next meeting as Brenda, Ann and Allen will give an “explanation tour” of what is available and how it […]
Program “Brick Walls”
This month we will discuss “brick walls.” Since we are all presumably doing research, it is just possible that we may run across something that may refer to someone else’s brick wall. So please bring into the meeting a blank piece of paper so you can take notes on other members’ brick wall concerns such […]
