Christmas in November...?
Yes! Since Root Cellar recently decided to not hold Member meetings in December and January, we will be holding our annual Christmas party a little early. In addition to our usual gift raffle and refreshments, this year we will be including a panel discussion forum to answer research and other questions submitted by our Members. If you weren't able to complete your questions at October's general meeting, then simply send an email to Glenda Lloyd at glendalloyd@sbcglobal.net. For more details, please click here to view the "Christmas in November" flyer.

Root Cellar's exhibit at the 2017 Archives Crawl was a big success! Dozens of persons attending the event stopped at our exhibit in the Research Room of the State Archives and shared their family stories. Better yet, some were able to find references to their families in our library. Our thanks to our Members who volunteered to support the event, and we look forward to doing this again next year.
The October 2017 issue of Root Cellar PRESERVES (Vol. 40, No. 3) has been posted to our Members-Only section. Members have received copies by email. posted 1oct2017 ls

Although Root Cellar's Spring Seminar is still months away, we are excited to announce that our featured speakers will be from the Ulster Historical Foundation! World-renowned for their genealogical and historical resources regarding Irish and Scots-Irish ancestry, they will be Root Cellar's guests on March 17, 2018. For more details, click on the "Spring Seminar" menu item on the left and check back often for updates. (And, be sure to visit their website at https://www.ancestryireland.com/)
Root Cellar is now conducting General Member Meetings in July and August!
⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔
To take advantage of Summer daylight hours, Root Cellar's Board of Directors has decided to conduct regular monthly meetings in July and August. Instead, the "dark months" (when no meetings are held) will be moved to December and January when darkness and the weather combine to pose a possible hazard to our Members when attending meetings. For now, this will only be a trial and may be amended in the future. So, plan to attend our scheduled meeting on Thursday, July 13. Hope to see you all there!
Root Cellar's library now includes a new, online searchable catalog!
