Hello, history-loving community!

I have created an event for our final genealogical workshop, scheduled for October 16, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:30 PM. The event was initially posted but flagged for some reason. I corrected the issue and reposted it this morning.

We would love for you to attend this workshop. Food will be provided, and attendance is free!

Thank you,
Dannielle
