The October 2019 edition of the Ancient City Bulletin has been posted to the SAGS Support Library section. You can download the Bulletin by clicking the title (it’s underlined). This issue is full of genealogical goodness so it could take a minute or two to download. An email will also be sent out later today with a copy of the Bulletin attached.

What will you be sharing at this year’s Family History Faire? Photo albums? Family heirlooms? All these things – and more – are welcome at the Faire! For those of you showing at this year’s Faire, contact Pat Tanner (sags.secretary@yahoo.com) as soon as possible to let her know how much table space you need so we will be set up to support all the displays.
Need access to electricity, it’s a good idea to bring your own extension cord.
