July 2008 eNews Vol. 1 No. 4
Welcome to our next 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
Our next Board meeting is slated for September. Location and time are TBD.
September 3-6, 2008: Federation of Genealogical Societies Annual Conference will be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA. Our president, Robert Locke, and vice president, Joe Hoefflinger, will be roaming the halls, so please come up and introduce yourself. Registration available via the FGS conference website at http://www.fgsconference.org/index.php
In the fall:
We are working on cosponsoring a workshop on historical artifacts with the Fairfield Museum and History Center, a Scandinavian-focused genealogical seminar, and probably a Genealogy 101 or 102 type workshop. Not to mention our Holiday Party coming in early December. If you have any ideas for upcoming programs of interest to you, please send us an email with your ideas!

News:
The summer months are quiet, but….
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
We need your renewal well before the August Journal goes to print. It is “very” expensive for us to individually mail the journals on “late renewals”, so please get your money in soon.
If you have any ideas or comments about this “monthly” broadcast, please contact me at: webmaster@connecticutancestry.org
