Genealogical Society of Washtenaw County, Michigan, Inc. Meetings |
|
|
Monthly meetings of the Genealogical Society of Washtenaw County are held at 1:30 pm on the fourth Sunday
of each month from September through May in the auditorium of the
St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Education Center,
just off of East Huron River Drive and Clark Road on the eastern edge of Ann Arbor.
The November meeting may be held on the first Sunday of December to avoid the holiday weekend and the May meeting
may be held early to avoid Memorial Day; there is no meeting at the end of December. We also sponsor an annual
picnic in June and a cemetery reading in late July or early August. Programs feature speakers on subjects useful to genealogists. Meetings are publicized in local newspapers, in the Ann Arbor Observer, on the Arborweb website (the Ann Arbor Observer's home page) under Events, and in the GSWC Newsletter. Classes are held after the regular meeting. Non-members are welcome! |

CEMETERY READING:
Spring dates for cemetery reading:
The cemetery reading usually takes place on one or two Sundays in Spring or Summer. The exact
date and place have not yet been determined. Everyone is invited to help GSWC members read stones in order to compile a plot map and index of who's buried there. Writing paper will be provided. Bring a clipboard, pens or pencils, flour, a spray bottle of water and extra water, scrub brushes, rags, gloves, a snack or lunch, cold drinks, insect repellent, sunscreen, and whatever you need for comfort (a low stool, blanket, etc.) See cemetery reading for a news article about a previous year's expedition. |
