The Iroquois Genealogy Society held their Christmas meeting at the Allegany Casino in December 2021. It was well attended by about 18 people. A good visit was had by all. A Remembrance table was set up by Teresa Van Aernam and Jenny Logan (see picture below). A moment of silence was observed. An election of officers for 2022 was held and following are the new IGS officers:
President – Teresa VanAernam,
Vice-President – Arthur Hill,
Secretary – Marilyn Anderson,
Treasurer – Leatha Jimerson
Congratulations to all!
A big Nya:wëh to Marilyn Anderson for all her hard work for the past two years as President. We have had many changes the last two years because of the pandemic and not being able to meet in person. We adjusted by doing zoom meetings and doing research online.
We are also thankful to the following people: Teresa VanAernam for having the vision of establishing IGS, Jack Ericson for selflessly sharing his knowledge of genealogy and Iroquois people with us, Leatha Jimerson for being our public relations person, Wallace Ward for designing our website and together with Jack digitizing documents and making it available for everyone on the website. His technological expertise is worth millions and is done as a volunteer. Randy John for providing his knowledge of research and history. Art Hill for his research expertise which goes way beyond. Julie Jimerson and Debbi Hoag for their hospitality assistance for our in-person meetings. Last but not least, to our faithful attendees who without your interest and input we would be lost.
We look forward to 2022 which will bring us another opportunity to continue our research and enjoy the company of fellow genealogy devotees.
Our next IGS meeting will be March 10, 2022. We will be planning for next year over the winter months.
IGS wishes everyone a wonderful new year! The winter months are a good time to do research. Please check out our website: www.iroquoisgenealogysociety.org There are many resources available there. We will keep you updated on any information that pertains to family researching.
Stay safe and well! ~ Iroquois Genealogy Society
