Jottings from Joan

At the last meeting we enjoyed entertainment from our own Mary Sisson, playing guitar and singing beloved Cornish songs. It was great! Lots of good food too.

We also were visited by a roaming bagpiper, who was in the park at the time, and stopped by to play some tunes for us.

This next meeting is coming up rapidly, as we had to schedule it a bit early this year to get our usual Vancouver meeting place at the Clark County Genealogy Center. We will be meeting October 1st, and we will be having a genealogy workshop of sorts with the genealogy library open next door to our meeting place, so that we can use its resources. This will be a very unstructured meeting where you can bring your genealogy questions and if you haven't done any genealogy, but thought you'd at least like to know a bit more about your Cornish side, then bring what you know (parents, birthdates and places, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.) We can help you get started.

Bring something to share as we will have out normal meeting potluck as well.

Joan Huston, President
