 Plan to attend our October 14 meeting!


The October meeting of CGHS is Tuesday, October 14 in the Sunflower Room of the Laramie
County Library in Cheyenne at 6:15 p.m.  Glenn York of the Larimer County Genealogy Society will be our
speaker for this free, educational program which is open to the public.


    "Locating Your Ancestral Records in the National Archives"

Numerous interactions between your ancestors and the federal government generated

 records that have been preserved by the National Archives.  The National

Archives operates fifteen research centers and seventeen Presidential

Libraries/Museums.  This presentation provides information on the preservation of these

records by the federal government.  We will explore the types of information in these records

along with how you can locate and access them.
