Spring is here, time to get outside and enjoy the weather! This is the time of year that I like to visit the cemeteries since you can see the area better. Be sure to wear good shoes and long pants and shirt since deer ticks are out.
We had a good zoom meeting in April. Jare Cardinal did an excellent job describing the early maps on our website. The maps consisted of 1798, 1842 and 1878. There was plenty of discussion too. There were zoom attendees and also some people on Facebook live. The presentation is recorded so you can go back and check it out on our FB page. We have many other maps on the website that we hope to cover at a later date.
We have a new feature on the website named ‘Ask the Researcher’. This is a way for people to submit genealogy questions. When submitting a question, please be specific, eg. Provide a name, birth date or a year and location of where the person was born, died or lived. We will point you in the right direction. We have some great researchers amongst us that will be helping to answer your questions.
Our next IGS Monthly Meeting will be held on May 13, 2021 at 6:30pm via zoom. The meeting will cover another area of our website – SCHOOL RECORDS! We will show you how get more information regarding Iroquois students who attended: Thomas Indian School, Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Hampton Institute, and Tunesassa (Quaker) School. We will show you how to access other school that students attended.
Please find the event announcement with directions on our webpage by going to the menu and choosing ZOOM MEETING. A link for the meeting will be provided. We will be on Facebook Live (Iroquois Genealogy Society) also. In this format, you can watch and listen to the meeting with no interaction. However, we will have a person monitoring the meeting and you can post a question that will be relayed to us.
We hope to see you! Please stay safe and healthy!
