Our GSNOCC September meeting will be a special Show and Tell for all things related to family history and we need your help.
​
Do you have an unusual piece of family ephemera - a special antique or family bible?  Can you showcase a unique collection? Have an unusual family tree presentation in wall art or scrapbook design? Share the unique way in which you have brought your family history to life.

Please consider being part of our September meeting.  Tables will be available for your set-up at 6:30pm and the meeting will begin at 7pm. Members can go from table to table and explore the many ways in which we honor our relatives.  If you're shy, don't worry --no public speaking required.

We'll also have expanded food offerings and a mystery antique contest with prizes.  You are encouraged to wear the dress of your heritage, if desired.  Come out and see what interesting things your fellow members have to share.

About the Program

You Will Never Look at Your Old Photos the Same Way Again!

Step into the 21st century with your photo identification!  Every bit of a photograph – the thickness, the edges, the shape, and yes, even the image, can help you identify it.  It’s not only what you look at in a photo, it’s how you look at it that counts. Clues lurk in the most unusual places, you just have to find them. Even the most mundane items– the weather, the direction of traffic on a street, can be the clue that can solve a photo-mystery. After attending this talk, you will never look at your old photos the same way again!
