A Genealogy Show and Tell (MCGS Monthly Meeting)
2:00 pm to 3:00 pm Bedford Public Library, 2424 Forest Ridge Drive, Bedford, Texas 76021
Join us for an informal “show and tell” session where participants are invited to share a piece of their family history. This might be a favorite document, photograph, heirloom, or a short story about an ancestor. The goal is simply to share, listen, and learn from one another in a relaxed setting. Whether you bring something to present or just come to enjoy the discussion, you’ll likely come away with new ideas and perspectives for your own research. |
