Welcome to our third installment of news from Connecticut Ancestry Society, Inc. As announced in our February 2008 journal, this eMail will inform you of upcoming events currently scheduled. We are expecting to send these roughly once a month to help remind you of upcoming plans.
Upcoming Meetings:
July 19th, 2008: “Planting Your Family Tree Online” Workshop at Bridgeport Public Library. Starting at 10:30am, our webmaster, Robert Locke, will demonstrate how dynamic, work-in-progress, publishing of your own tree on the Internet can bring connections from around the world knocking on your “electronic door.” The workshop is open to the public, but please RSVP to the Historical Collections staff at Bridgeport Public Library at (203) 576-7417 or via email at mwitkowski@bridgeportpubliclibrary.org

News:
We had a wonderful time at the Annual Meeting on May 18th held at the Keeler Tavern Museum in Ridgefield, and hosted by the Ridgefield Historical Society. We learned about some of the settlers of the Oblong from our esteemed editor, Harlan Jessup.
Announced at the Annual Meeting, our website has been growing. The “Past Journals” page (http://www.connecticutancestry.org/journalpast.html) now has every article title and author going back to Volume 10, September 1967. You can use your browser’s search feature to search for surnames, locations, or authors mentioned in the titles. You can peruse the issues’ Tables of Contents to see some of the wonderful articles and maybe order a back issue or two.
As a reminder, if you have yet to renew, the recent May journal is your last. Please send in your renewal soon to keep those journals coming. Renewal forms are available in the Journal or you can download the order form from our website at: http://www.connecticutancestry.org/about.html
If you have any ideas or comments about this “monthly” broadcast, please contact me at: webmaster@connecticutancestry.org
