Hey everybody! I have had pnemonia, so I wasn't able to go to the last meeting. Plus, I have neglected to forward a few emails from other members to you. Sorry. I seem to be past the worst of it though. We decided to have some fun with the next meeting and do a "show and tell."
Have you found an interesting heirloom, item, or document during your research? Is there anything you would like to share with the group? Please join us for Genealogy Show and Tell this August the 7th.

Carol and Kathy McCannon got some information from the Atlanta History Center. We might try and do a field trip there. They provided the following link for resources that their patrions find helpful when doing research at the Atlanta History Center.

This Friday at the Georgia Archives
Lunch and Learn Friday 15th. "Read it Write: Interpreting Early Styles of Handwriting" by Sandy Boling, Historian & Genealogist. Go to georgia.gov and look at Lunch and Learn Schedule for more information.
(This letter is from my Grandfather to his mother during WWII. It is not so hard to read, nor is it early handwritting, but I think this post is a good excuse to show it off.)
