December 11 Workshop

Jan O'Donnell presented the mini-topic for this week's workshop. She began with:

What in the World?

Can you guess how that sentence ended? Ask her next time you see her at a meeting...

The title of the presentation was "What in the World" which was a bit of a mystery. During Bob and Jan's visit to the Family History Library this fall she asked for help in researching in England. She (and the volunteers) were excited to learn that one of her ancestors was Wat Tyler. Wat was the leader of a peasant uprising during the rule of the 11-year-old King Richard. He was a hero for nine days before being beheaded.

Two genealogy lessons: always ask for help and be ready for surprises!

Thanks, Jan, for sharing your success story.
