From one of our affiliate members: A number of our CCGS members expressed an interest in visiting one of our neighboring community museums. Since we don't have a scheduled meeting in July we are planning a visit to the Bloomer Historical Society Museum on Saturday, July 26th. If you are interested, and want to carpool, meet in the parking lot across from the Chippewa Area History Center at 11:30 a.m. The address of the museum is 2200 S. Main St, Bloomer. Admission is free but donations are welcome. This is an opportunity to find out what genealogical information the museum has. Please RSVP by next Thursday, July 17th, whether you are carpooling or traveling by yourself, as I need to give a head count to the museum so they can plan accordingly.

Struggling to place your ancestors on the map—or even in time? We’ve all been there. You think you know where someone lived, but the records are patchy. The birth record’s missing. The census return is too vague. The trail goes cold. That’s why a course that’s quietly powerful: Locating Your Ancestor in Place and Time taught by the wonderful Annette Burke Lyttle, CG. Over three Tuesday evenings in August (Eastern US), Annette will walk you through how to: • Find the right kinds of records (not just the obvious ones) • Spot clues hidden in plain sight • Use substitutes when vital records or censuses don’t exist • Cross-reference multiple sources to confidently place your ancestor in a time and place. This isn’t just a lecture series. It’s a working session—full of hands-on exercises, practical tools, and time to apply what you’ve learnt. Here’s what we’ll cover: • 5 August: Vital records (and what to do when they’re missing) • 12 August: Federal, state & special censuses (plus substitutes) • 19 August: Church records, directories & local histories. Let’s help you stop spinning in circles—and start finding the answers hiding in plain sight. https://www.familyhistoryacademy.com.au/locating-ancestors-in-time-place/ Family History Academy Capalaba, QLD Australia You received this email because you are registered for Family History Academy communications.
