Society learns about tracing roots A record attendance of 75 persons at the Huron County Genealogical. Society's "Beginner's Night" held April 6 is a sure indication of the growing interest in tracing one's "roots". Each person introduced themself and told where they were from (areas represented incl,ided Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham, Gorrie, Exeter, Dashwood, Brussels, Walton and London)., Alison Lobb, chairman, mentioned that in future meetings may oc- casionally be held in other communities for the benefit of members residing farther away from Goderich. Miss Anne Clark of Walton was elected 2nd Vice - Chairman. A number of queries were read requesting information on families named Irwin, Munroe, Campbell, Morrison, Linkletter and McDonald. For the benefit of guests, Mrs. Lobb outlined the function of the branch. She also asked for assistance in planning future programs; what types of information and speakers members. would like to have. The positron of Bulletin Editor is also vacant and it, is- hoped that someone will volunteer to fill it. • Bill Partridge, Chief Librarian for Huron County, advised that . the Goderich Public Library now has a microfilm reader -printer for anyone wishing this type of service. Cost per printed page is most reasonable. Alison Lobb presented the program "Genealogy - Getting Started! ", covering what you want to find, what you deed to get, where to look, steps to follow, • recording your information, filing tips, letter writing tips, typing your own charts, interviewing and research tips -and numbering systems. She stressed that you contact all relatives, leaving no one out even if someone else thinks they may not be in- terested. Full name, in- cluding middle names and nicknames, are very im- portant, as are complete dates for birtns, marriages and deaths. She suggested that you always record the source of your information for future reference, Alison stressed that you should be persistent, as .there may be many reasons for people not answering . correspondence immediately and always enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Alison noted that a good filing system, one which works for the individual, is most important right from the very beginning of research. Changing systems part way through takes valuable time. Each file should be identified and perhaps colour coded. In some cases correspondence- documen ts-information sheets may require cross. filing when they involve more than one person or area. When researching, make your preparations in ad- vance, not only contacting libraries and archives that you plan to visit, but relatives also as they may be away when you plan to visit. F;ncnrn that vn,f ralre along the proper tools; paper, pencils, recorder, etc. Keep a detailed record of your results for future reference. It is most important to note where photocopies came from (name of magazine, atlas, etc.). A booklet entitled "Genealogy - Getting Started!" is availabe from the Huron County Branch covering in detail all the above topics. A follow-up workshop covering Types of Research Resources will be held at the May meeting. Mrs. Lobb's presentation was most informative and enjoyed by all present. The mystery prize for the evening, a plaque, was won by Bill Partridge of Goderich. Regular meetings of the Branch are held the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Board Room at the Assessment. Office, Napier Street, Goderich. Guests area always welcome.
