Where were your female ancestors living when women earned the right to vote?  We’ll review the potential for female ancestors to be recognized as citizens in various countries and U.S. states. What were the policies in your ancestor’s country of origin?  Learn how in some instances earning statehood required refusing to allow women to vote.  Explore the news articles related to this topic and glean ideas of where you can find more information about female ancestors and what they may have experienced.

No Meeting - Post Thanksgiving

Please join us in learning more about land/deed records from non public domain states.  What are metes and bounds, what is the history of this method, how is the boundary created with this measuring system?  Gene Thomsen, Deputy State Surveyor, will answer these questions for us and demonstrate the method with some of his antique tools of the trade.  If you have an old deed record based on rods, chains, poles, varas, etc, please bring it to the session.  We will have some software available to create the deed plot of the described land.  This event is free and open to the public.
