Genealogical society hosts annual meeting
Published 1:30 am Wednesday, May 16, 2018
The Clallam County Genealogical Society’s general meeting is set for 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, May 19, in the Raymond Carver room of the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St. The public is welcome to the free event.
Guest speaker is Mary Roddy, a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild, the Association of Professional Genealogists and the National Genealogical Society. Her presentation is entitled “I Remember Mama — But Not Her Maiden Name.”
Because women can be hard to identify in researching family histories (with name changes),
Roddy will present more than 20 strategies for finding the maiden name of individuals along with few strategies for discovering married names for sisters, daughters and aunts who have “disappeared.”
For more information, call 360-417-5000 between 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, or see www.clallamcogs.org.
