Elgin Genealogical Society to meet Thursday evening, June 16
Elgin Genealogical Society will meet Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 7:00 PM in the first floor meeting room of Gail Borden Public Library, 270 N. Grove, Elgin. Following a brief meeting, Joyce Nigbor, genealogist/author, will speak on the problems in tracking down a Norwegian family living in Minnesota 130 years ago and finally finding living relatives. A friend in Oslo, Norway had requested Nigbor's assistance. The search includes a variety of documents, people, and websites as Nigbor pursued four sisters, their spouses and children from Norway to Territorial Minnesota to today. You may not have Norwegian ancestors, but come hear the research methods she used. They may help you. See our website for other info at www.elginroots.com.
