Linda Kuhlmann will discuss writing a fiction book about what she found with her family history and then wrote a book!  She even found that after writing the book, she found some things that were true that she had written up as fiction! Her title is: What To Do With Your Research - hear Linda Kuhlmann's experiences in taking her genealogy research and  creating a novel that is "loosely based" on her father's family history! She will spend a little time talking about getting genealogy research results published in a book format, since she has worked with some professionals on this subject! Linda is the author of: Koenig’s Wonder!

How to: delete something that at the moment they thought was part of their family and now have decided that it is not part of the family. So Eric has the new CD’s and we will watch the “TAGGING” part of the CD’s and then also the SOURCING part of the CD’s. 

I have started a Calendar for my Walker family and I might show you what I’ve done and I think that Tonia has her new calendar and I am hoping she will have a copy to show us what she has done this year! I don’t have mine completely done, but I can show you what I am in the process of doing. If anyone else has some to “SHOW & TELL”, please bring a copy to show everyone! 

Lunch after the meeting
: Tom O’Brien said that there was a café in the same building – so I am planning to have lunch after the meeting and it will be an “no host luncheon” for everyone that wants to have a chance to visit after our meeting. From what I understand they have pastries, salads, sandwiches and fruit on the menu.
