Dont' Build Your Own Brick Walls
Featuring Guest Speaker:  Jill Morelli, CG
 
Description:  Most brick walls are of our own making! We need to address the reasons why they exist so we can resolve the problem. We will review some of the reasons our brick walls get built and how to tear them down. Hard hat ready? Let's start smashing the wall.

There is genealogy beyond the internet! While the internet is one very convenient tool, it is not the only tool. Check out online library catalogs, then visit the library to access the book or request an inter-library loan.
