Happy New Year! This week we will finish reviewing a longer video presented by Geoff Rasmussen that is free and available from the Legacy Family Tree Webinars site. The direct link to the video is listed below its title:
Legacy 9 Unlocked (part 1): Your First Few Tips
This Week we will finish up with the middle 3rd of this video that we started back in December.
We hope to see you this coming Tuesday, January 3rd!
Our meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of each month from 7:00 pm until 8:30. The link to the reoccurring Zoom Meeting is located at the bottom of this page.
The first half of each meeting we will work thru training videos, watching, and then pausing to talk about the section we just watched before moving on to the next section. The second half will be used for open discussion of topics related to using Legacy. This could include any questions or problems we are having with the program or tips and features we have discovered. If you think of something you would like to bring up, please write it down so you can share it with the group.

Clallam County Genealogical Society Finding & Using Historic Newspapers
Saturday, January 14th, the Clallam County Genealogical Society will meet at 10 am. Claudia Breeland will be the guest lecturer. The title of her presentation is “Finding and Using Historic Newspapers.”
Claudia is a professional genealogist, author, and a wonderful lecturer. She shares her experience to illustrate how she has found missing ancestors and answers to questions about the lives they led – answers found in newspapers. We will learn about the many online newspaper databases, both free and by prescription, as well as how to obtain news articles not found online.
News articles may include birth and death announcements, marriage, anniversary and baptism announcements, awards, travelers, parties, and visiting firemen, civil and criminal judgements, advertisements for your ancestor’s business, and so much more.
There is no charge for hearing this Zoom presentation. One can watch it at home or at the County Genealogical Society’s Research Center located at 403 E. 8th Street in Port Angeles. Call the Society to receive the Zoom meeting number and passcodes at (306) 417-5000. For more information about the Society and its programs check out their website: www.clallamcogs.org.

Merry Christmas from WSGS
This penny postcard was from Allie Hansen (Alice Hansen, wife of Peter Hansen) to Anna Hansen, wife of Anton Hansen, brother of Peter Hansen. It was postmarked in 1918 and required a 2-cent stamp to help pay for WWI. I guess that is a gold poinsettia stuck on the back.
Merry Christmas from Kathy, Valorie, Roxanne, Frank, Charles, Virginia and Diane
