It happened ... in Syracuse

19 YEARS AGO, JUNE 39, 1971 Hot, humid weather, and 90 to 100 degree temperatures were back on the agenda Tuesday following a violent storm hitting the Syracuse and adjoining area early Monday night with most areas out of electricity for varying lengths of time. Northern Indiana Public Service men reported for duty around 6 o’clock Monday night, shortly after the first effects of the storm were felt, working around the

Relatively speaking

By DORIS MCMANIS CAMDEN So many people express an interest in genealogy and state that some day they are going to start. If this attitude continues, some day they will have run out of time, and the project-hobby never had a chance, didn't,get off of the ground, or however you wish to say it. In the summer, there will be more time next fall when the kids are in school, when the garden has bowed to Jack Frost, or when everything is back on schedule. In the winter, the roads are too bad. the weather is unpredictable and there is just so much going on Spring and fall have their own things — raking leaves, planting garden and so on Is there any better time to start on genealogy than now’’ Don't you owe vourself some time, a new hobby* Genealogy sounds and looks complicated, and sometimes it is complex. But it is so much fun While tracing back and learning about what your family contributed to our country and others before it. geography, history, friendships, travel, and even a simple study of a foreign language become involved. These things are much more interesting as an adult, at a time of your choosing, and when it is your personal history. There are beginner's books at a very nominal price that are available. Charts put family members together and start a pedigree chart showing just who you are descended from, at a glance This is an invitation to anyone who has thought of starting on family tree tracing to come to the meeting of the Genealogy Section of the Kosciusko County Historical Society at Saint Anne's Episcopal Church. 420 West Market. Warsaw. The library (which will loan you books for a month if you are a member) opens at 7 p.m., and the meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. Go in the red door in the front of the church, after you have parked in front or behind the church. Turn left inside the door and go downstairs Let us know you are a beginner. This will be a workshop evening. Bring your questions and problems. Mark July 15 on
