Our meeting will include:
- Business Meeting
- Program: A Serious Serial Bigamist. Teresa Shane, LLCGS Co-Vice-President of Programs, presents her story of John Franklin Shane, her 1st Cousin 4 times removed, who married seven women under at least four different names, crossing three state lines, imprisoned twice all before possibly going straight and disappearing under an assumed name of John Lewis Shane. He fathers at least three children, including a son and a daughter, whose descendants are Teresa's 4th cousins once removed. The discoveries involved census records, prison records, newspaper articles, county marriage records and more. One of his wives, Effie Lisk, is buried in Wyuka Cemetery with her legitimate husband, Alfred Haagensen. Be sure to attend and hear an unexpected twist to the story.

Stories of D-Day (LLCGS Event)
11:00 am LLCGS Library, Lower Level, 2900 O St., Lincoln NE
This is Armed Forces Day and a chance to share one of your family's stories with others. We will join forces with the New Writing Group to share and preserve our families' stories of D-Day (and, if time allows, other World War II events). We would like members and guests to bring in their family’s stories of D-Day or World War II. It can be a 5-, 10-, 15-minute story, or a brief written account to be distributed or passed around.
Today’s genealogists have an opportunity to preserve the stories they’ve heard about that day so that our descendants can hear the stories.As we delve into our family histories, many of us trace the military endeavors of our ancestors. While some of these experiences are nearly lost to time and have left us a few records and fewer stories, some of us have heard first-hand the vividly-recounted stories told in our family of World War II and the D-Day invasion. The D-Day landing on the beaches of Normandy was one of the more significant events of World War II and played an important role in the demise of Nazy Germany. Come share and listen!
