Clayton Library Friends General Meeting

This general meeting will be held via Zoom online meeting. A brief business meeting will be followed by our guest speaker.

Program Title: "Who is That?" by Jean Wilcox Hibben

This presentation will look at how people who show up on the census, in a will, in a deed, or in other genealogical documents might appear to be family, but may not in fact be related. It brings to the table the concept introduced by Elizabeth Shown Mills called FAN club research. A few funny stories will help to illuminate this presentation.
