Hello everyone...
I'm working on a calendar of genealogical and
historical conferences for Washington, Idaho, and
Oregon...
Bob Witherspoon sent to list the following info
and I'm wondering if any of OUR group will be
attending?
This looks like a good way to "boot up" interest
in the USGW and also promote local Counties. I am
willing to find a sponsor to cover some of the cost of
making handouts featuring local counties/USGW.
Anyone interested???
