Yesterday was German-American Day, chosen because it was on that date in 1683 that English Quaker William Penn brought the first group of German settlers to America.
Tomorrow our local family history center is holding an open house at 4PM to celebrate its 15-year anniversary. I hadn't realized that it had been open such a short time when we started using it after we began spending winter months at Palm Creek.
Have you noticed? The Palm Creek website now includes our genealogy club on its home page listing of clubs.
