Monthly Meeting - Guests Welcome

Crossing the Pond:  Finding Your Ancestor's European Origins
 
Tuesday, June 11, 7:15 p.m.
Eastridge Presbyterian Church
1135 Eastridge Drive, Lincoln
 
Join Phyllis Ericson as she shares successful strategies for "crossing the pond".  Get ideas for finding that elusive information to locate your ancestor's country and village of origin.
We'll sort through U.S. and foreign records that can lead us to the other side of the pond and help us locate our ancestor's homeland - their country,region and maybe even their town of origin.
Armed with this information may take your research back even more generations in the "old country".
 
Plan to spend a delightful evening with other passionate genealogists.

Tour of Nebraska State Historical Society Library/Archives
LLCGS is sponsoring  a tour of the Nebraska State Historical Society Library/Archives.  We invite all genealogists, new and experienced to join us to learn about the excellent  resources found in this collection.  You need not be an LLCGS member to attend.  Bring pencils, quarters and your data for a morning of discovery.
Join us from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm  at the Nebraska State Historical Society Library and Archives, 14th and R Sts., Lincoln, NE
We've chosen a summer Saturday to visit the research facilities to avoid parking challenges.  Parking garages with first hour free are also nearby.  Check your city map and  plan for potential parking.  Check the NSHS website  http://nebraskahistory.org/index.shtml   beforehand to get some ideas of what would be helpful for your research.
After a 9:00 A.M. tour led by Andrea Faling indicating resources available, we'll have opportunities for research with assistance from LLCGS members who have experience using the resources at the site.  To pre register and provide input to NSHS staff regarding expected number of people on the tour please send a message through "contact" on the green menu column.
