New Page on website - Mystery Treasures
We have added a page which will
showcase "lost and found" unknown family photos and heirlooms which members have discovered during their own genealogical searches. We
invite all members and visitors to view the page from time to time to see if any of those treasures
might belong to your family. There is a link listed in the Menu under "Research" to the left.
If you have an item you wish to display, please let us know.
New Page in Members
Only Directory - Shared Treasures
We added a page which will showcase special
mementos which belong to TGS members. We all have some item which is
special to us and
our family which we have acquired during our searches. Look through your
mementos and pick one or two to share which you feel may
be unusual or of interest to others. Beverly Weldon starts us off with a
very unusual signature of her husband's 7th Great Grandfather.
Let Dorothy know when you have something to submit and we will decide if
it needs to be scanned or we should take a photograph.
Your item will not be kept by the Society - we only present the image.
To see this page, click on Members Only
on the menu to the left.
Enter your username and password to access the directory. Then click on
