If so, the Huron Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society (OGS) is looking for you. The year old branch of the popular Ontario organization is seeking otit family trees and ancestry charts from Huron County people to include in its library. According to the branch chairman Carole Robinson, from Goderich, the group already has received a number of donations and copies of completed family histories for their use and future safe keeping. The Huron Branch is also interested in increasing its membership and during the past year the organization has attracted over 70 members. People of all ages and interests have joined the Huron branch as well as the provincial organization and many other branches across Ontario in an attempt to learn more about their family tree research. Members, who come from throughout the county and as far away as Alberta and California are free to attend monthly meetings to hear guest speakers and mem- bers talk about their methods of research and their finds. Members also receive a regular ' branch newsletter and help each other with the family searches and questions about the past. The Huron Branch meets the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in Goderich in the meeting rooms at the Ron Feagan Memorial Grandstand on MacDonald Street. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 7 and Miss Robinson invites any in- terested people to attend. Memberships in the branch are $3 per year and further information on the group, and' how to become a member can be obtained by contacting the membership chairman, Janet Hullah, 15 'Elgin Street West, Goderich.
