Productive sumer
Genealogical S
The Huron County Branch
of the Genealogical Society
has had an active and
productive summer. At the
September 2nd meeting, it
was reported that the
membership had
mushroomed during little
over a year to 192! Most of
these members live outside
Huron County one as far
away as Hawaii - proving
that many people the world
over have roots in Huron
County and are interested in
its history and background.
The librarian was able to
report that we had had many
family history booklets and
some church and town,
histories donated since our
inception, and these are all
most welcome. It was
decided that we would make
every effort to obtain such
printed histories so that they
can be used as reference
materials by people trying to
trace their roots here. If
ciety's membershi
anyone knows of any person
or organization who has
published such a history,
please .encourage them to
send a copy to our archives.
We are already handling a
number of queries from
people who live at quite a
distance and want to find out
more about a specific area in
Huron (County. Such
references could be in-
valuable to our organization.
Since our treasury is quite
low we would hope to have

his friend, and Andrew gave
us some background history
regarding 'his family tree
research. We were ableto

history found in such books,
and the variety of layout
plans, makes them most
interesting to all our
members.

stories told by her great -
