At the Board meeting last week, the distribution of the quarterlies was discussed a bit - how to best handle getting the publication to those folks who really want to receive it without printing a bunch of copies that will never be picked up. There were some suggestions, starting with sending an email to those current members with 3-4 copies sitting in their folders. The more I thought about it, I decided it would be a good opportunity to ask a few other questions around membership benefits, meeting schedule, program topics, etc. (in addition to the quarterly question). I'm thinking we should develop a short survey covering these items - the agenda for our next Membership Committee Meeting!

Join us on 16 May at 7pm at the Fernandina Branch Library Community Room to listen to Bob Frey, who will tell us how he traced his ancestry back to the Catholics who established colonial Maryland, then later migrated to Kentucky and beyond. His ancestors settled the historic, western Kentucky Catholic settlement of Fancy Farm and helped build the St Jerome Church. Frey will discuss his ancestors’ arrival in Maryland from England in the 17th century and subsequent migration to Kentucky in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

This month’s program, facilitated by the AIGS Library Committee, will showcase the Genealogy Room of the Fernandina Beach Branch of the Nassau County Public Library, which has an extensive collection of books of interest to family history researchers. The AIGS library contains over one thousand volumes, including genealogy magazines. The main focus is on local history, colonial history and ‘how-to’ books about genealogy, but it also has a large collection of military books, as well as books covering research in many states and countries. Join us and learn about the actual collection and how to locate materials in it. Please note the different day of the week and starting time!
