General Meeting: Wednesday, May 16
Port Charlotte Beach Complex
Pavilion 2
11:30 am - 1:30 pm Picnic Lunch
Come enjoy a picnic lunch with friends. We have planned an outdoor
picnic on beautiful Charlotte Harbor, under the cool shade of a
pavilion with plenty of seating.
Bring a covered dish to share, and table service for yourself:
a plate, cup or glass, and silverware.
If you like, bring a guest — your spouse, significant other, or best friend. No reservations are required—just come and join the fun!

General Meeting: Wednesday, June 20
Mid-County Library, Genealogy Room
Our June meeting will be a working meeting. All members are asked to come to the Mid-County Library Genealogy Room and assist us in completing an inventory of the Genealogy collection: books, CDs, and other materials. Many hands make light work, and with enough help, we will accomplish this task in record time. If you can bend and stretch, you can read the titles of items on the shelves. If you cannot move easily, you can check the books off the list. There is a job for everyone.
Please sign up below for a two-hour shift starting at 10 am, noon, or 2 pm.

Tips & Tricks |
STATE LAND STATES are states that owned and distributed their lands. This includes the original 13 colonies, Kentucky, Maine, Tennessee, Vermont and West Virginia, Hawaii and Texas. They use "metes and bounds" to survey the land.
Immigration is entering a country where you are not a native to take up permanent residence. Emigration is leaving a country where you have been a citizen.
Naturalization is the process of becoming a citizen. It is a two step process and takes about five years. The Declaration of Intent or 1st papers can be filed after two years of residency. Naturalization and the Oath of Allegiance are taken after an additional three years of residency. |
